\"\"<\/a>An innovative approach to facilitating a long-term solution to people\u2019s need for care support has been launched by Closomat.<\/p>\n

The Palma Life offering enables local authorities to achieve best value. It combines, in a one-off payment, supply and commissioning of a Closomat Palma Vita wash dry toilet, plus a total 10 years\u2019 service & maintenance.<\/p>\n

It means the cost of the equipment, and its lifetime\u00a0servicing and maintenance is addressed in one, single cost, often as part of a Disabled Facilities Grant. This eliminates all the associated issues with funding and co-ordinating of future service and maintenance, with all the associated liaison with client, and administrative time and paperwork. It gives clients peace of mind that their equipment is appropriately covered. It gives a full \u2018fit and forget\u2019 solution for dignified, independent toileting, reducing or even eliminating the need for care intervention- for less than \u00a31\/day.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the first time that the concept of purchasing a piece of equipment, often as part of a Disabled Facilities Grant, with service & maintenance included in one price, has been available for a shower\/wash dry toilet,\u201d says Mark Sadler, Closomat Sales Manager.<\/p>\n

\u201cInitial reaction from social housing providers and local authorities is wholly positive. They appreciate that such equipment is life changing, but also essential to daily life, so needs to be serviced & maintained. An offering such as Palma Life means the whole cost can be incorporated into the initial DFG. It gives peace of mind to provider and client, for years to come, especially as the service & maintenance is carried out by our own engineers, not contracted out to a third party.\u201d<\/p>\n

Closomat\u2019s Palma Vita is already the most popular wash dry toilet to be installed to enable clients to go to the toilet on their own, with dignity. It is proven to offer the best wash and dry performance available.<\/p>\n

Closomat WCs are also proven to be durable: there are many still in daily use 30 years\u2019 after being installed.<\/p>\n

Closomat was the first company to introduce shower toilets into the UK, almost 60 years ago. Uniquely, it is the only shower toilet company based in Britain, with British manufacture and full customer support before, during and after sales. Its uniqueness extends further: it is the only company in the sector to have its own, dedicated, nationwide team of service engineers, to commission every unit and deliver timely rectification of any issues (subject to the appropriate service agreement).<\/p>\n
