Has anyone had a bathroom converted to a shower only ,by council or housing association,please I have applied for one but it's taking a long time to get anywhere with it
How long did it take from start to finish ,had to have an assessment by a occupational therapist ,but got referred by my Dr
My sister's friend applied for one a before me and already had it done ,have to say though she was with a different authority
I seem to be getting nowhere,from people saying they no nothing. About when I enquire ,to someone coming with floor samples
Thanks in advance for any replies

Sorry no.
I think I'd call the surgery, check exactly where you were referred and then chase each link one by one.

Good luck.

I think it all depends on which authority you come under.

my housing are doing me a wet room instead of shower over the bath, something i can no longer manage. the architect came out last week to say it can be done, which i did think anyway as a gentleman neighbour had his done. next week the OT is coming out to see me and probably check if there is anything else i need. i did say that a shower chair maybe a stool for the kitchen to perch on when i do jobs, perhaps a few grab handles as my balance is not brilliant. i suppose things like that will get worse. they told me that the wet room will be done by Christmas. i suggest you could chase them up as things can be slow. i was helped by my support worker from the HA

I hope for the OPs sake it isn’t Southend 😱
