Walk-In Showers for Veterans Built Around Your Needs

A tub wall is hard to step over when your balance, your back or an old injury gets in the way. Many veterans and their families start looking at walk-in showers for that reason. You want to enter without a climb, with a seat and a bar close by. You also want someone who listens to what your situation needs.

A walk-in shower starts with the entry. Instead of lifting a leg over a tub wall, you step in through a low or barrier-free opening. From there, you choose what helps. A built-in seat lets you sit to wash. Grab bars go where your hands naturally reach. The shower is a Jacuzzi® system with a very low-profile custom pan and wall surfaces that are grout-free and antimicrobial, so cleaning stays simple. If you have a tub now, a tub-to-shower conversion turns it into this. A walk-in tub is also an option if you would rather soak.

Every veteran's needs are different. One may be living with an injury or a service-connected condition. Another may be a spouse, son or daughter helping a veteran at home. So the shower should be built around the person using it, not around a standard plan. That means talking about how you move, what you can reach and what you want to hold onto. One reviewer, RicoLab S. put it this way: "My disabled veteran family member was the reason we considered Love your Bath. In our situation Jerry was very reasonable in considering his needs and stood by his word."

The price depends on your bathroom and your choices, so it is quoted in the home. The size and layout of the space, the base, the wall style and finish, and extras like a seat, shelves or grab bars all change it. Their words for veterans: "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 a grant apply depends on you, so check with the VA before you count on it.

It starts with a designer coming to your home. The homeowner is asked to be there. The designer listens, looks at the space and builds a custom plan with options. You pick the wall type and color, the base, the fixture colors, and the seat and grab bars. Then you get a free quote. When you say yes, the next step is your install, which our own crews handle. Most jobs take as little as one day, and a few need a second. When the crew finishes, they go over every detail with you.

When it is done, bathing is less of a chore. You step in, sit if you want, and hold a bar where you need it. The walls wipe clean. A family member can stop worrying about the tub wall. The worries below, like tub alternatives, the least expensive route and removing a tub, each have their own answers.
