Bathroom Safety and Accessibility for Veterans: What Fits

Most Veterans who start this search want the same thing: to use the bathroom without worry, in their own home. Maybe it's you. Maybe it's a parent or a disabled family member you are helping. Either way, a slippery tub wall or a high step is the problem to fix, and there is more than one good way to fix it.

Veterans usually weigh the same handful of options: walk-in showers, walk-in tubs, tub-to-shower conversions, grab bars and built-in seats. A walk-in shower gives you an easier step-in. A barrier-free shower with a very low-profile custom pan goes lower still. A walk-in tub has a low-threshold door that seals against water, an integrated seat, grab bars and anti-slip flooring. Each one is a genuine Jacuzzi® system. You choose the wall color, base and fixture finish, so the bathroom still looks like yours.

No two Veterans need the same thing. Some are looking for themselves. Others are a son or daughter helping a parent who served. One reviewer, RicoLab S. wrote about a disabled veteran family member: "In our situation Jerry was very reasonable in considering his needs and stood by his word." In the company's words: "We're proud to offer special savings to veterans, first responders, teachers, and families of children with disabilities. Ask your Design Consultant for details." Whether VA benefits or grants apply depends on the person, so nobody can promise coverage. The questions below take that up.

The price depends on what you pick and the space you have. The size and layout of the tub or shower area matter. So does choosing a shower or a tub, and the base, wall style and finish. Extras like a seat, shelves or grab bars change it too. For a walk-in tub, the tub size and the comfort features you choose count. The work covers only the tub or shower area. Most jobs take as little as one day, and some installs take a second day, rarely.

It starts with a call, and phones are answered 24 hours a day. A designer then comes to your home. All homeowners are asked to be present at the design consultation. You talk through how you move, what worries you and what you want. Love Your Bath builds a custom plan with options and a free quote that includes the product and the installation. You pick the colors and safety features. Then the crew installs it, and when the job is done they go over every detail with you.

When it's finished, you step in instead of climbing over. You have a seat if you want one and a bar where your hand reaches for it. David R. put it simply: "Very happy with my new shower and grab bars." The bathroom feels easier every morning, and you stay in the home you know.
