The Hidden Gem in Senior Care - The Spa Toilet Seat

As the senior population continues to grow, the need for both caregiver assistance and tools to increase one's independence becomes extremely important. There are numerous health issues that plague the senior population. With the cost of health care rising every day, maximizing care options at home has become a necessity for many of today's seniors. Some opt for a caregiver- often a relative or loved one, while others utilize facilities such as assisted living. But certainly, many attempt to remain as independent as possible for as long as they can.

As we age, the body naturally loses mobility, and the inability to do daily tasks can become difficult or embarrassing for a grown adult to communicate. Needing help with truly “personal” needs can become very demeaning and challenging. Asking for or proving assistance in the areas of bathing, personal hygiene, or toileting is embarrassing, and no senior likes to admit when these sensitive issues have become a problem that affects their daily lives.

Many caregivers, doctors, and nurses are now beginning to discover a new product that helps with this issue. The spa toilet seat is quickly gaining popularity among seniors and their caregivers. By making it easier to use the bathroom for those with limited mobility, it helps alleviate the need for caregiver involvement and increases a senior's independence at home. Popular in Japan and Europe, the emergence of spa toilet seats into the American marketplace is only recent, and its applications and benefits to the senior living community have been somewhat of a hidden miracle.

Electronic units such as Spaloo offer advanced features in an easy to use unit. A spa toilet seat simply replaces an existing toilet seat with minimal installation requirements. With the push of a button, a small wand extends and sprays a gentle stream of warm water to clean the user, resulting in a hands-free, sanitary toilet experience that requires little to no toilet paper. Spaloo's hands-free system offers relief to those who require additional assistance while using the bathroom, including surgery patients, those with mobility problems, and people with MS, Parkinson's or arthritis. In addition, using a bidet toilet seat such as Spaloo can help reduce or alleviate discomfort from incontinence, constipation, UTI, and hemorrhoids, ailments often associated with the elderly population.

The benefits that a spa toilet seat offers the senior community are extensive. No senior or caregiver should have to suffer with the embarrassment associated with personal hygiene or toileting issues when such a low cost solution exists.
