Options
Lever flush mechanisms are the easiest to operate; the levers can be extended if necessary.
A higher than usual toilet bowl is available.
A design is available for an extension to a push-button on a recessed cistern.
If the flushing button is recessed, a piece of dowelling with or without a crosspiece can be used to push the button.
Electronic no-touch tiles contain a low energy radar sensor; the flush is activated by bringing a hand toward the tile.
Flushing can be operated by foot.
A 'small-bore' toilet system can be fitted which does not need the same extent of plumbing into the sewer. This can be helpful when a person is no longer able to access an outside toilet.
Factors To Consider
height of the bowl; ease of rising from sitting
cisterns can be recessed or surface mounted
whether cistern will impede the use of an over toilet aid or mobile over-toilet chair
whether cistern will impede sideways transfer from a wheelchair
ease of use of flushing mechanism (lever easier than button)
mandatory dual-flush systems for all new bathrooms and bathroom alterations.
