Chelmer Housing Partnership

Project

Chelmer Housing Partnership (CHP) is a non-for-profit housing association based in Chelmsford, Essex. This housing association offers over 10,500 affordable homes and sheltered schemes. Locally managed, CHP adapts properties to cater to all residents’ needs, including shower systems which suit multi-generational households. Taking this into consideration CHP chose Triton Omnicare Design Thermostatic Electric Shower for their adaptations works.


“Safety is our number one priority when specifying for adaptation. However, aesthetics and ease of use are of course also important, providing a space that is visually appealing as well as secure. Triton’s Omnicare range ticks all of these boxes, providing added reassurance for the safety of those who are most vulnerable.”

“Having a reliable supply chain is essential to ensure we always have access to a safe solution. Due to the trusted service Triton provides, it is our top choice for showers, and its Omnicare products have become instrumental in our refurbishment and maintenance programmes.”

– David Hutchings, Supply Chain Manager, Chelmer Housing Partnership

How to make bathrooms fit for purpose for all generations

We have created a safety blueprint guide which considers the movement towards multi-generational living in the UK, and explores the key elements of bathroom safety. It outlines the most important factors for those responsible with taking an ‘end-user first’ approach to bathroom and shower specification, providing a framework for the kind of practical steps that occupational therapists, supply chain, maintenance and contracts managers can take.

What the guide covers

  • Social housing supply and demand
  • The UKs demographic shift
  • Introducing the PASA test – our unique tool to help shower specification
  • Insight from a leading Occupational Therapist
  • Key elements of the safe bathroom
  • And much more!
