• Pool lifts

While using the restroom at a restaurant this evening, I heard someone in one of the toilet stalls asking for help. It was an elderly man who had problems getting up on his wheelchair after using the toilet. One of the restaurant cleaning staff, who alerted management for help, told me this is not the first time something like this happened. For a good restaurant, not having a special toilet for the disabled or handicapped individuals is pathetic. In the US, the authorities are now implementing laws to have public pools of certain depth to install pool lifts for the disabled. Locally we can’t even expect establishments to provide disabled restrooms. What a disappointment.
