Some elderly have difficulty going to the toilet as the toilet bowl and the basin's level is not adjusted to the elderly's height. Thus, the elderly would have to spent extra effort to use that basin or toilet bowl and may fall or slip over. I think that the elderly's toilet should be redesigned after measuring the elderly's height and moving the toilet bowl and basin such that it is proportional to the elderly's height. Also, the designers should add anti-slip mats, bars for the elderly to hold onto so as to ensure that he or she does not easily slip or fall over and also use as a guide for the elderly to stand up and move around after he or she has finished his or her's business. The elderly should also wear a device that allows his or her's children to know if she has fallen down or any other things that went wrong in the toilet.
