Need a safer bath but unsure about a walk-in tub?
Other bathroom safety and accessibility choices for Inverness, FL, explained in plain words.
You live in Inverness, in Citrus County, and your tub is getting harder to use. Inverness sits on the western shore of the Tsala Apopka and Henderson lakes, but the water on your mind today is in your own bathroom. A walk-in tub came up as the fix, and before you decide, you want to see the other choices.
What makes a tub hard is the climb over the side. For a moment you balance on a wet, slick surface while you swing a leg across. Picture doing that every morning, half awake. A walk-in tub handles that with a door. Other choices handle it by lowering the way in or by adding something to hold and a place to sit.
Common alternatives are a walk-in shower with a low or barrier-free entry, a tub-to-shower conversion, and a built-in seat with grab bars. In Inverness we have replaced two showers and a bathtub. The 2025 shower has smooth Midnight Storm walls, Matte Black fixtures, a dual bypass door and a fold-down seat. Your price is set in your home and depends on the space, the base, the walls and finish, the fixture finish and the extras you add. The room is seen first, then priced.
This week, walk through your morning routine in your head and note each spot where you slow down or reach for the wall. That list is what you share with the designer. If a son or daughter helps you, have them sit in too. Call Love Your Bath to set a visit at your Inverness home. The designer hears you out, then puts together a custom plan with options and a free quote. You choose the colors, finishes and safety features yourself.
Once the work is in, your bathroom fits your routine again. You step in at a low entry, sit on a seat if you want, and keep a hand on a bar. The products carry a lifetime warranty that covers you for as long as you own the home. Gloria N. called the installers "Very courteous and hard working."
What people in Inverness say
"I cannot say enough about what this company did for my grandparents. They initially signed a contract that they couldn’t afford and had to cancel for strictly financial reasons. The regional manager, Jerry, called me back directly to learn more. I became defensive of my grandparents but Jerry, instead of matching my energy, completely restructured the contract in a way that worked very well for my grandparents. He told me that the safety of his elderly clients is his top priority and he was willing to lose some money on the deal because it was the right thing to do. The shower is in and they love it! Very impressive workmanship and customer service. Thanks!"
"My installers were great very happy with work they did and I would recommend Love your bath to anyone. Very courteous and hard working."
"John Blankenship was our salesperson and was great. Because Jacuzzi was our first choice, he was willing to work with us and arrive at a mutually acceptable price. Couldn't be more pleased; highly recommended."
Other things people in Inverness ask
will medicare pay for a walk-in tub
Original Medicare generally does not pay for walk-in tubs or bathroom remodels, because they are not counted as medical equipment. Some Medicare Advantage plans offer extra home safety benefits, so call your plan and ask what it covers. We will not promise coverage, but we will give you a written quote you can take to your plan, and we can talk about financing at the design visit.
how to get a free walk-in tub for seniors
Free walk-in tub offers are rare and usually come with conditions. Some people get help through VA benefits, local aging or home-repair programs; it depends on your situation, so check with those programs directly. We do not promise coverage, but we offer special pricing for veterans and financing, and we will give you a written quote to bring to any program.
