As we grow into our senior years, we seek to make remodeling choices that are not just cosmetic in nature, but more importantly, are functional improvements to our home, supporting easier day-to-day living. Walk-in bathtubs have quickly gained popularity with senior citizens, and those that suffer with limited mobility, as they have made getting into, and out of, the bathtub, safe and convenient.
Walk-in bathtubs are manufactured with safety in mind. The incorporation of a watertight, hinged door into the side of the tub significantly lowers the threshold, allowing the bather to simply walk into the bathtub. Thus, the name, walk-in bathtub. Providing easy access to the tub eliminates the primary obstacle presenting the most difficulty, and most injuries, to those who are experiencing limited mobility due to old age, or disability.
Beyond ease of access, many models incorporate additional safety-oriented features including built-in seating, support bars, anti-slip flooring, and handheld showerheads, accommodations all designed to provide a safer, and more convenient bathing experience for those that otherwise may have difficulty bathing.
In addition to safety features, walk-in bathtubs can also be both the height of comfort and luxury. Models often include hydrotherapy options, pulsating jets placed strategically to provide a soothing, therapeutic massage, designed to relieve muscle soreness, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. Consider adding options like LED Chromatherapy, heated back rests, aromatherapy, and ozone sterilization, and put your health and comfort first while selecting the perfect walk-in bathtub to complete your bathroom remodeling project.
