Safety Features of Walk-In Tubs

Walk-in tubs are starting to gain popularity; especially among seniors and people who have mobility challenges. After all, showers require standing for an extended periods of time and traditional bathtubs can be difficult to maneuver. Walk-in tubs allow people to bathe with comfort and ease.

When One Door Opens

One of the best features of a walk-in tub is its door. With a traditional bathtub, seniors have to hobble on one foot to climb into the tub. It is no surprise that this is very dangerous, since people can lose their balance and fall. Walk-in tubs are much easier to enter than traditional bathtubs. 

A Balancing Act

Walk-in tubs also come fully equipped with grab bars. They provide a steady structure to hold onto as you enter or exit the tub. Grab bars allow people to get their balance. Walk-in tubs are safer than traditional bathtubs because they reduce the risk of slip and falls. Some seniors are determined to live independently at home for as long as possible. Walk-in tubs make this a reality, since seniors can bathe safely without the assistance of others. 

At Re-Bath of Richmond, we carry only the best brands of walk-in tubs. With a variety of colors and styles, there is something for everyone. Walk-in tubs are perfect for people who are concerned with safety.  As the old saying goes, it's better to be safe than sorry!

Smoke and Mirrors

Fortunately, shower curtains are not pricey and can be purchased from your local home improvement store. Best of all, shower curtains can add character and color to your existing decor.
