It will be such a relief to see her somewhere she can cope better. Her flat really isn't big enough for the crutches, never mind the wheelchair. Itching to get the keys now to get started

Thank you all for your kind words of support

i have the severe hms id push for a bungalow for her an adapted one wetroom with no bath etc

It's a custom built flat. With wetroom and also a bath fitted. Which will be handy for me when I need to go round there. I do love my bath to help my knees. 2 bedrooms which is one more than she needs atm, wide doors, wide hallway. Can access bathroom from hallway or from bedroom, easier to roll into for morn shower. Kitchen is all fitted especially for wheelchair users too. It really is ideal for her. 2nd bedroom is on the small side, but it will probably be used for storing her wheelchair atm as she won't need it much about the house for the time being, atm it will mainly be for outdoor use. The only thing it's really needing is a chair for the shower, called up her OT today and one is being delivered :T

Kitchen opens onto a private patio, which will be lovely in the summer. Little drying area out the back too. It really is perfect for her.

The only thing that vexed me was the fact that I used to work with the young lass that had the flat before her, found out that she passed away She was such a lovely lass and I'm so very sorry she's gone, but happy that my dd has her flat

Why do that when she's been allocated a purpose built flat?

thats good then mazza the doorways have to be a certain width for us wheelchair users to get around my 3 bed house wasnt wheelchair friendly and it was a nightmare to get round it hence why i had to move to a different county altogether and have a 1 bedroom bungalow suitable for wheelchair access is the flat gonna be ok when she does go in chair more cos with the illness we have it just gets worse and worse

mazza111

Yes hon, it's already all adapted. It's gonna be absolutely perfect
