Changing Places toilets are different to standard accessible toilets. They have extra features, more space, and are accessed using a Master Locksmith Access Key (MLAK).
Each Changing Places toilet provides:
- a height adjustable adult-sized changing bench
- a ceiling tracking hoist system
- additional circulation space
- a safe and clean environment.
Please note: You need to bring your own four-looped sling to use the hoist.
