How many toilets and wash basins are required for every six persons in a facility?

The correct answer is: 1/6

In a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly, the minimum requirements for toilets and wash basins are regulated to ensure proper sanitation and convenience for residents. For every six persons, there is a requirement for at least one toilet and one wash basin. This means that for a group of six residents, having one toilet and one wash basin is deemed sufficient to meet their hygiene needs. This ratio ensures that the facilities can accommodate the residents effectively without causing long wait times, which can be particularly important in a care setting where residents may have mobility issues or require assistance. Regular access to sanitary facilities is crucial to promote health and well-being. Understanding this requirement helps in planning the layout and service provisions in residential care facilities, ensuring that the needs of all residents are adequately met while adhering to safety and health guidelines.
