This is important. In the last year 4/5 changing places we visited the hoists were not charged. It’s really frustrating to find that you can’t use the toilet/bathroom at all. And usually you have planned your entire day around that exact facility. #ReturnHoistsToChargingStation
🚨 IMPORTANT REMINDER 🚨 Pls remember to return the hoist to its charging station after using a Changing Places Toilet🔋 If you don’t the next person won’t be able to use this facility. Pls help keep these vital facilities ready for all who need them. #WeAllGottaGo
