As a son or daughter, have you thought about your aging parents living safely at home? What modifications would you consider to help them age in place?
Simple tasks like cleaning, shopping, cooking, and bathing can become challenging with limited mobility. Some parents choose not to address these difficulties with their children, as not to be a burden. In other cases, children or the adult child proactively take steps to execute safe home modifications for mom and dad.
We recommend a proactive approach, especially when it comes to bathing safely. With hazards like wet floors, slippery bathtubs, loose mats, the bathroom space is often where falls occur. Stepping over the edge of a traditional bathtub can make this daily routine even more of a struggle.
Walk-In Tubs can help make bathing easy again and bring some normalcy back to life at home. This quality of life enhancement can be a wonderful home modification to help your loved ones age in place and to keep everyone's stress level about falling at a minimum. As you investigate the solutions available on the market today, and in your location, be sure to look at product warranties, testimonials, and quality of product. We also recommend contracting with a local and reputable company to handle your installation.
During your on-site visit, your walk in tub specialist will take measurements, address the plumbing and electrical configuration of your current bathroom space, and provide you with options like dual jet hydrotherapy if you are in need of pain management.
If you are not able to attend the on-site visit while looking on behalf of a parent, we can provide you with a recap post-visit, conference you in on the phone while our specialist is there, and do whatever is necessary to make sure that you are kept in the loop throughout the whole process.
