All of who would be looked after by someone else

But not full time, as in 24 hours, every single day. My Mum is almost
91, lives in a warden assisted flat, and has a carer for half an hour
every day, plus visits from my brother, and SIL. She is not suffering
from full blown Alzheimers yet, but her memory is iffy. Deciding to run
a bath whilst alone is typical of something she just may decide to do,
on a whim. Moving her to a care home would make little difference, as
there would still not be a person with her, at all times.

Why should the other 99.9% of the population have a mixer tap and not just the few that need it? What next, every house must have a stairlift?
