Walk-In Bathtubs: Making Life Easier and Safer

For people with disabilities, handicap baths, or walk-in bathtubs, can make daily hygiene easy but also safe. These walk-in bathtubs are specially designed to eliminate the need to step up and over the side of a traditional bathtub, something that is difficult, if not impossible for some with disabilities.

In addition, walk-in baths are made with a built-in seat so once you step inside and shut the door you can sit down with ease.
Added to these walk-in baths are a variety of features to include valves, heaters, jets, pumps, assist bars, shower wands, and much more. You would simply need to determine what things are necessary for your situation.

Many walk-in baths are designed for ambulatory people but also for individuals that are disabled. For instance, some come with a lift access, perfect for mobile lifts. However, other designs are only for walk-ins. With these options, you could choose white with a chrome or basic overflow and drain. No matter what style of walk-in baths you consider, the low entry into a full size tub makes life so much better for people long challenged by physical disability.
You can choose from a standard 60-inch tub, an extra long design, measuring 72 inches or a compact model that can be only 38 inches long.
When shopping for handicap baths, you want to make sure you buy quality. For instance, make sure the tub is CSA or UL approved or deemed a medical device and registered with the United States Food and Drug Administration. Additionally, the NASA should have approved the tub for transfer, offer a no lifting door design, and come with a left or right-handed drain. Other things to consider include stainless steel parts for better wear, built in seat, slip resistant floor, overflow drains, zero-threshold if the tub is recessed into the floor, and a solid warranty.

The baths on the market today are absolutely incredible and can make daily living and bathing much simpler and convenient.
For the person with a disability, this type of bathtub means not having to ask for help, thus regaining self-confidence.
In addition to making life easier for the individual using the bathtub, walk-in baths also help the caregiver when it comes to assistance. Remember, you can even choose from walk-in baths featuring air and water jets, or both, which provides hydrotherapy for arthritis, healing broken bones, back pain, and a number of other physical challenges.
