I am in a great need for a toilet that is at least 18" from the floor. It's for a tall person with a bad hip

Question

I live in Euclid OH,

Answer 1

Home Depot, Lowes, or any plumbing supply store sell what are called "Chair Height" toilets. You can also install a raised toilet seat to make it even higher.

Answer 2

Sometimes in handicapped bathrooms you will see a normal height toilet but the seat is similar to a booster seat, rising 6-8" from the cermanic portion. It would probably be easier to find a raised seat instead of a high toliet. If I were you I'd start checking medical supply stores that carry items like extra shower railings, walkers, etc...

Answer 3

Home Depot and Lowes both sell handicap toilets that have a taller floor profile. You can also get a seat extension section that can be placed over your toilet (with existing seat and lid up). This is a good option for people with handicap & non handicap people sharing a toilet.

Answer 4

there is something called a donut, a hard plastic or polyethylene device which hospitals give their patients after hip surgery, because you have to be careful positioning you hip. it can be found in pharmacies or surgical supply stores. it fits right over the toilet.

Answer 5

if you can't find a toilet that size, just go to a health supply store and buy a toilet seat extender...they add height to a regular toilet and they don't cost very much at all

Answer 6

You can build a step the size of the footprint of the toilet and just extend your wastepipe and put a new flange on. You can make it any heighth you desire.

Answer 7

I just bought one for 129 dollors from a value home center for by dad who has similer problems

Answer 8

an alternative could be to fit handrails for the person to hold
