“YOU SMELL” – my grandson told me

03 March 2011

“When my grandson told me that, I lost all dignity.

I had a stroke about a year ago and since then I have been incontinent. One day my best friend, Andy, found me staggering dangerously to the bathroom because I couldn’t bear the idea the idea of my daughter having to clean me afterwards”. 

Peter’s best friend Andy felt that he must do something to help his friend and set about developing a self-contained mobile bidet commode. After working with the UK Department of Health, who were very aware of the needs of lots of people like Peter, the finished commode is now in production in the UK.

The Dignity commode is on wheels and can be operational five minutes after delivery. It can be used in any room and does not require any plumbing or permanent electrical installation. It can be removed just as easily.

Plug it into the household electricity supply and fill the reservoir from the tap. In use, the seat is heated and warm water is gently sprayed to clean the user and warm air to dry. The waste is removed in the discrete Ellis potty or by using a hygienic absorbent plastic bag.

The severe loss of human dignity of having to have someone clean you after toileting is gone and dignity is maintained.

At home or in hospital or long-term care, dignity is restored for the patient and a most unpleasant task for the carer is avoided.

Peter is back in control again.
