The Many Benefits of a Walk-in Tub

As you or your parents get closer to retirement age – or perhaps someone you know is already there – your priorities begin to shift, and in the clear direction of caution. Not that you still can’t cut a rug, walk five miles a day, or mow your lawn in record time, but you’re also not as nimble or spry as before.

So what does that mean, lifestyle wise? It means it’s a good idea to start thinking about making your home a little safer, and what better place to start than your bathroom – where more accidents occur than in any other room in your home.

In fact, you can accomplish a great deal simply by swapping out your conventional tub for a walk-in tub, one that features both added comfort and safety, and in a variety of important ways:

• Low-threshold entry reduces the risk of slipping and falling while entering or exiting your tub.
• Anti-slip tub floor further reduces the risk of injury from falls.
• Enhance your personal safety by adding one or more wall-mounted grab bars.
• Walk-in tubs also feature temperature maintenance systems so you can spend more time enjoying the therapeutic warmth of a bath.
• Want to turn your bath into a hydro therapy session. Then insist on a model that comes with water jets.
• Contoured seating extends the pleasure and comfort you’ll enjoy in your walk-in tub.

For your added comfort and convenience, walk-in tubs feature quick draining. The entire tub, in fact, can drain in a minute or less so you spend almost no time feeling cold.
