Wheelchair
access throughout the house The premises are located close to the
waterfront and town centre with very little difference in
elevation to either of them. Unfortunately, we cannot
offer private parking but usually there is space along
the street in front of the house with a level approach to
the front door. There is only a slight ramp up within the
rebate area of the door itself. A door phone is within
easy reach and you can call us any time for assistance if
needed.
When planning the ground floor layout, we took advice
from The National Rehabilitation Board. All doors on the
ground floor are at least 75cm (29 1/2 inches) wide. A
small side lobby off the entrance hall leads to our
accessible accommodation consisting of one room with a
single bed "Boa Esperanca" and
one room with 2 single beds "Eagle".
Both rooms have space enough for a turning circle of 1.5m
(59 inches). The adjacent bathroom for
these 2 rooms also has a turing circle of 1.5m (59 inches
) and features a drive under wash hand basin, a toilet
with 1 vertical and 1 horizontal grab rail on one side
and a hinged support rail on the other. The drive-in
shower is equipped with a removable seat with one
vertical and one horizontal grab rail.
"Eagle" and "Boa Esperanca" have a
remote control TV, direct dial phone, Tea/Coffee making
facilities, a hairdryer, and Wash hand basin, a lower set
of coats hooks and fixtures to lower the rail for the
clothes hangers in the wardrobes.
The "Messroom" where breakfast is served is
just across the hall and has enough free space for
manoeuvring. Wheelchair users who have stayed with us in
the past were all very happy with our facilities.
If you have any further questions why not phone or e-mail
us.
