Traditional tubs require users to step over a tub wall, then lower themselves into a deep basin. For elderly adults at risk of slip and fall injuries or those with severe joint pain, this action alone can be a source of fear and stress.
How can you help a loved one regain confidence in their ability to bathe independently?
Installing accessible bathing fixtures like walk-in tubs or roll-in showers is the ideal solution.
High-Quality Replacement Tubs Built With Accessibility in Mind
How do barrier-free showers or walk-in replacement tubs help you or your loved one?
Traditional tubs require you to step over a tub wall, then lower yourself into a deep basin. Not only does this increase the risk of a slip and fall injury, but it also is incredibly uncomfortable for those experiencing issues like joint pain.
With walk-in tubs, all you need to do is open an easy-swing door and step into the tub. ADA-compliant slip-resistant flooring, grab bars, and seating make bathing even easier and more secure. Add hydrotherapy jets and handheld showers and you or your loved one has the ability to bathe comfortably and with confidence.
Have a loved one in a wheelchair? Roll-in showers are perfect! Without a threshold virtually flush with your floor, getting into the shower has never been easier.
There are many things you can do to help yourself or a loved one take back bathing independence, and the first thing to do is get in touch with Miller Home Renovations. We’d love to discuss our walk-in tubs and barrier-free showers and the benefits of installing them in your home, so get in touch with us today to find out more.
