I Need a Holiday Too
Are you looking for a wheelchair accessible holiday accommodation that offers level access living, no thresholds, no steps, wheel in showers, profiling beds and hoists for example? Here at I Need A Holiday Too we have been specialising in holidays for wheelchair users since 2006 and we have offered 100's of disabled people and their carers, friends and families a truly accessible holiday experience, in Brittany, France, with all of the above and more.
All our accommodation is wheelchair accessible and we offer holidays for disabled people and their families and friends, with or without care and support, self-catering breaks, respite breaks for disabled travellers and respite holidays for carers. We have a lot of experience within the accessible travel industry and have gained a good reputation for meeting disabled people’s needs. Staff live onsite so there is always someone on hand to help with any problems or questions you may have during your stay here.
The former flax mill is located on the banks of the River Jaudy in a small and very beautiful town called La Roche Derrien, we offer the comfort of modern living in a rural traditional setting, yet we are only ten minutes away from the beaches, several towns and all the other attractions you would expect on a holiday. Our 6 wheelchair accessible apartments are level access throughout, hard tiled floors, large width doors, and have large open plan living areas with dining area and kitchen off. The bathrooms are all huge, level access with a roll in shower, raised toilet with grab rails and a roll under sink. There are two large double bedrooms that can be configured to meet your needs with profiling beds, or beds that can be used with mobile hoists and bed raisers for example.
Apartment No 4 is on the 1st floor – accessed by the lift and hosts a completely accessible solution for disabled travellers. There is a Ceiling Track Hoist in the master bedroom, over a profiling bed, which has the option of a standard pressure relieving mattress or a static air pressure mattress. A second ceiling track hoist is in the large bathroom above the closomat toilet and to allow easy transfer to a shower chair.
The apartment also has a riser recliner armchair in the lounge, satellite TV, free Wi-Fi, a TV with Amazon Firestick in the master bedroom and Google Home Mini with environmental controls allowing you to switch off lights, etc in the apartment via voice command. This apartment is completely “high-tech” and allows anyone who wants the whole package complete autonomy.
What we can offer is a complete accessible holiday package to meet your needs and the needs of anyone who supports you. We have English speaking, experienced and fully trained care staff to work alongside you if you want carer services. We offer extremely flexible support staff to try and work with you, so you can make the most of your stay. Our care staff are extremely good at picking up routines quickly as we are very aware that a lot of disabled people often must explain their routines repeatedly which can be very frustrating for them.
We are happy to be guided by you and work alongside your existing team to be able to meet your agreed assessed needs as quickly as possible.
Equipment can often mean the difference between going on holiday or not as the case may be for a disabled person, when wanting to go away a veritable truckload of equipment can be required, so we have a lot of equipment already here ready for you to use. We have profiling beds, pressure mattresses, hoists, shower chairs, shower trolley, manual wheelchairs, plus other bits available. You just need to let us know what you need, and we will source it for you.
