Bath Focus: Safety In Your Own Space Remodeling your old bath or shower to a safe & modern bathing area means less stress and cost down the line. Use these safety remodeling ideas now to live independently later. Safety Grab Bar More than ever, seniors are choosing to remain in their own home and community as they age. In fact, 9 out of 10 seniors prefer to age-in-place to be close to family & friends and remain active in their community*. It's no wonder that home remodeling is on the rise–especially in the bathroom area where most accidents can happen that could lead to unforeseen medical cost. Upgrading your bathroom for better accessibility and safety is the number one remodeling need to reduce slips and falls. If you have a bathtub and finding it harder to step over the tub, you may want to consider converting to a safe walk-in-shower. Additional Safety Upgrades: • Walk-in-showers provide low or no threshold for easy accessibility in and out of the shower. No threshold is also known as roll-in shower that has curbless entry which is especially important for those with decreasing mobility. • Slip resistant shower seating can relieve strain that comes with standing for an extended period of time. Choose from many seating options from built-in corner seats to retractable seats. • Adding grab bars and other safety accessories to your shower can dramatically increase safety in your bathroom. It helps you to stand and safely get in and out of the shower area, providing piece of mind. • Our Jacuzzi ® Walk-In Bathtubs address many concerns from falling, chronic pain and loss of independence. It provides the ultimate safety and bathing experience with therapeutic hydrotherapy benefits and combating limited mobility. *AARP survey About Bath Expo: Bath Expo is a proud, locally-owned company that would be honored to meet with you and turn your bath remodeling needs into reality.
