Mobility concerns around bathing are a growing issue as
we age. The Solution? Walk-in tubs eliminate the greatest
obstacle to safe bathing – the process of getting in and out of
a slippery tub. Walk-in tubs have swinging doors to replace
the 20 inch step over needed to get into traditional bathtubs
with one short, safe step. This significantly reduces the risk
of falling for those with limited mobility. Walk-In Insert

Slip-resistant flooring, grab bars, and a raised seat means all
the controls, including the shower wand, are within easy reach. Quick Tub Door
Independence and Dignity are Restored.
A walk-in tub also means that seniors and others with
mobility issues no longer have to wait for personal support
workers or family members to bathe them.
Though getting used to a different way of bathing takes
some time, the peace of mind provided is worth it.•
