Grohe looks at the role of the multi-generational bathroom for the ageing population

Grohe bathroom

In recognition of International Day of Older Persons which took place today on 1st October, GROHE looks at the ways in which accessible design in the bathroom can make simple tasks usually taken for granted much easier for the ageing population.

The International Day of Older Persons (acknowledged each year on 1st October) is spear-headed by the United Nations and encourages enhanced attention to the particular needs and challenges faced by older persons today. The awareness day offers an opportunity to look at the multi- generational home and how to prepare our homes to cope with the needs of the elderly to ensure we can remain in them for longer.
