My mother is in rehab and learning to use a walking frame, reviously used a tri-walker. At the moment the nurses open & close the door to the toilet. Mother asked the physio how she should manouver opening & closeing doors, to which she got a blank expression, then said she should leave all nessary doors open all the time! Mother poined how drafty this would be, but again got a vacant look. Apart from the obvious, what is going to happen when mother goes to the toilet?? Mother lives with me & my family, husband and adult son. My son has friends round, I needn't say more.
Has anyone got any practical advice on opening & closing doors whilst using a frame? By the way the toilet has no room to stand to the side of the door because of the shower unit.
Any advice would be most welcome.
