Walk-in tub alternatives for the elderly that skip the climb
What else works besides a walk-in tub, from bathroom safety and accessibility in Plant City, FL.
A tub wall that never bothered anyone is now the hardest part of the day. You may have heard a walk-in tub is the fix, but you are not sure it fits how you or your parent likes to bathe. In Plant City, in Hillsborough County, you have a few other choices worth seeing first.
Here is what is going on. A regular tub makes you lift your foot over a tall side, often while wet and holding nothing. Besides a walk-in tub, there are three common ways to change that. One is a walk-in shower with a low or barrier-free entry. Another is a tub-to-shower conversion, which puts a shower where the tub was. The first two take the tall side away. The third, adding a built-in seat and grab bars, gives you support while you wash.
The job is the tub or shower and nothing else around it. The size and layout of that space shape the price. Your picks shape it too: shower or bathtub, the base, the wall style and finish, the fixture finish, and add-ons such as a seat, shelves or grab bars. Since no two bathrooms match, the quote is done in your home. It is free and covers both the product and the installation.
Your next step is easy. Sit down with the person who uses the tub and ask what feels hard. Then call Love Your Bath, whose Tampa office is in Hillsborough County, the same county as Plant City. A designer visits, listens, and builds a custom plan with options and a free quote. Make sure all homeowners can be there. You get to pick the colors, the finishes and which safety features go in.
