What Defines a Walk-In Tub?

Walk-in tubs are a must-have for seniors in Tampa who need a little assistance getting in and out of the bathtub. A marvel of modern engineering, these fixtures are expertly designed to account for every possible challenge that seniors may face in the bathroom. Whether you use a wheelchair or your joints simply don’t work like they used to, walk-in tubs are crafted to make self-care easy for any individual.

A walk-in bathtub is often defined by these distinct features:

• Strategically-placed grab bars
• Low thresholds to avoid high lifting
• Slip-resistant surfaces, even when wet
• Easy entry and exit for easy mobility
• Wheelchair accessible entry points
• Built-in chairs for resting while bathing
• Water jets with gentle massaging features

Each of our senior clients is one in a million, and that’s why walk-in bathtubs come in countless shapes and forms. Bariatric, soaker, hydrotherapy, and wheelchair-accessible walk-in tubs are just a few of the styles that can be fitted into your custom bathroom renovation!

How Seniors In Tampa Benefit From Walk-In Tubs

What are the greatest risks of taking a bath in a regular bathtub as a senior? Fall risk is a major concern with the potential for painful and lasting injuries, and the lingering threat of immobility (or getting stuck) is another. Walk-in bathtubs help prevent the unfortunate from happening while offering other worthwhile benefits to our senior clients in Tampa.

Just How Bad Are Fall Risks?

With the high walls and slick surfaces of traditional bathtubs, seniors are more prone to slips and falls that can even prove fatal. Walk-in tubs eliminate these risks with grab bars and slip-proof textures or coatings.

Hydrojets and Pain Relief

Seniors who frequently face aches and pains throughout the body can find comfort and relief with hydro jets in walk-in bathtubs that provide gentle massages as they bathe. This is a natural approach to pain relief, thus adding therapeutic qualities to these senior-friendly tubs.

Supporting An Aging-In-Place Bathroom

For those planning for their future senior years, Tampa homeowners can account for future senior independence with an aging-in-place bathroom remodel. Walk-in tubs are just one of the many features that can future-proof a bathroom as our clients grow in their forever home.
