Developers Please

I think it’s about time developers paid attention and built in some things to enhance properties for residents. 

Number one, put in an accessible toilet close to the entrance off the foyer. It should have a sign stating “Accessible!” For which I will ask “Are there any other residents here with disabilities?” Then it’s unofficially Helen’s Personal toilet. But you may use it, just keep it clean and tidy for all.  

Also, while we are on the topic of bathrooms. Can they start designing apartments with one and a half bathrooms? That would be an ensuite and maybe just a second toilet with handbasin. I cannot tell you how good it’s been for the last seven years to have two toilets in my home and I live alone.

I get ready to head out with a carer calling out “I’m just going to the loo!” and they will return with “I’ll go too!” 

So, at the end of the day there is no fighting when we get home who gets to go first or how long you can be there. 

I’m sure I’ll revisit this at a later date so, to be continued.
