Bidet for disabled father, need recs:
My father is 76 years old and disabled, and can no longer twist his arthritic shoulders around to reach behind him. He’s moving into an assisted living place, so we can’t just get a whole new toilet for there, but they said we could remove the toilet seat and put on a bidet toilet seat for him. We were looking at the comfybidet, but after some research I see that Toto is the best? Any recs on something in the $150-$300 range would be great.
Main issues we have are that my dad has a special seat that will go over the toilet, freestanding, like a commode, so that he’s higher up & able to transfer on and off easier. So the first question is what is a bidet that’s going to spray up to like 4 inches so that it will reach him even though he’s raised up over the toilet seat? And the second question is what’s a bidet that will operate even if the sensor isn’t picking up that he’s sitting on the toilet? I asked on Amazon about the comfybidet and it was determined that the spray would probably reach him, but that it wouldn’t allow the thing to turn on if it didn’t sense him sitting on the seat, which he won’t be doing because he’ll be sitting on his elevated seat. Does all that make sense? He needs something that will turn on when he pushes the button & spray regardless of whether or not it recognizes someone is sitting on it and we need something that will spray like 4 inches up so that it will reach him.
If anybody has any recommendations, we’re really scrambling here to get something ordered quickly for before he moves into the new place. Thank you in advance!
