Accessible Access

The Plymouth Life Centre has been built with access in mind and there are a number of key features which help make the centre accessibility friendly. Below are a few key features of the build but if you require any additional assistance please speak to a colleague who will be happy to help.

Hearing Loops

In key areas throughout the building you will be able to see that there are hearing loops fitted to make things easier for those who are hard of hearing.

Changing Places

In each main changing area of the building you may see signs for changing places. These facilties have been designed with fully automated adjustable beds and ceiling hoists to help people with physical difficulties to enjoy the centre. If you need to access one of these rooms or remote controls for the beds and hoists please ask a colleague who will be happy to help.

Alternatively throughout the building you will find accessible toilets specifically designed with wheelchair users in mind.

Brail

All signs and buttons have brail alongside them to help those who need it get around the facility easily.

Accessible Parking

Additional accessible parking is currently being put in at the front of the building to reduce the distance to the centre for those with mobility or breathing problems. This includes 30 accessible parking spaces.
