FAQs

Walk–in bathtubs aid fall prevention by providing a safe and accessible bathing option for those who may be at risk of falling. Walk–in bathtubs are equipped with features such as grab bars, non–slip surfaces, and built–in seats that provide stability and support. Additionally, walk–in bathtubs have doors that allow users to enter and exit the tub without having to lift their legs over the side, which reduces the risk of falling.

Both the walk-in hydrotherapy bathtubs and the walk-in bathtubs have the same design and layout. However, a walk–in hydrotherapy bathtub is a tub that has built–in jets that provide a massaging effect. A regular walk–in bathtub does not have built–in jets.

Individuals who have difficulty using the standard bathtub or shower due to a physical disability may be eligible for a healthcare referral to get an accessible bathroom modification. This may include individuals who use a wheelchair, have arthritis, or have another type of mobility impairment. Contact your doctor directly to discuss your eligibility.

An accessible bathroom is different from a regular bathroom in a few ways. Most importantly, an accessible bathroom has been designed with accessibility in mind. This means that the bathroom is typically designed to accommodate people with mobility impairments. Accessible bathrooms often have features such as grab bars, roll–in showers, and wheelchair–accessible sinks. The professionals at Home Safety Advisors can make all of those adjustments to your bathroom for you!
