Workspace Envelope The bathroom door is near the bed; a smaller bathroom would reduce distances from toilet to sink The bathroom location is a straight path to the door—not much turning required; never enough horizontal surfaces for nurses—they use the over-bed table so it is never in the same place and becomes an obstruction (clutter) You can see the toilet door (if open) from the bed Split doors at the bathroom might be easier to use; auto-open door would be ideal, but there can be challenges (e.g., Jewish Orthodox power on Sabbath) Distance from the bathroom to the chair seems long
Personal Workspace You have to reach over the toilet to use the ADA-compliant grab bars
Products A grab bar on the wall, opposite the bed, would aid stability; grab bar in the bathroom offers some support—double grab bars at the toilet would be better for support; continuous rails or shelf to the sink (and at the front of the sink) might offer more support; bedrail at the foot of the bed was used for support walking to chair Because the over-bed table is mobile, it was not used for support
