ALF Bathroom Requirements

The following diagrams have been developed to aid facilities in meeting the requirements of 37.106.2838 RESIDENT TOILETS AND BATHING (4) which requires:

All doors to resident bathrooms shall open outward or slide into the wall and shall be unlockable from the outside.

  • Dutch doors, bi-folding doors, sliding pocket doors and other bi-swing doors may be used if they do not impede the bathroom access width and are approved by the department. A shared bathroom with two means of access is also acceptable."
