Hi S,

An aid to bathing would probably be things like "grab rails" "support frames" "hoists",

Any adaptations such as a "Wet Room" "Level Access Shower" etc, etc,. I suppose a shower cubicle could be classed as an adaption, if one couldn't get in and out of a bath.

Anything really, that is necessary for you to bathe due to your limitations and care needs, could be counted.

Hi S,

Again if the "pill box" was necessary for you to take your medication safely and correctly due to your conditions, then it can be classed as an aid.
