An Innovative Safe Bathing Solution
Posted on by Dan Martin
Do you have trouble with getting in and out of your bathtub? Would you feel safer if you or your loved one didn’t have to step over the edge of the bathtub to get into the shower? Sadly, one-third of the elder population over the age of 65 falls each year, and the risk of falls increases proportionately with age. In fact, over half of the seniors age 80 or above fall annually.
Safe bathing solutions are critically important to keeping elders safe and independent at home. One innovative solution is to convert your bathtub into a walk-in tub or shower by installing a Safety Step tub cut-out. This solution is quick to install and cost-effective.
In merely a few hours, a Safety Step can be installed into your existing bathtub. This low-cost solution coupled with the installation of grab bars, a place to sit like a bath board, and a handheld shower is the most popular way to transform your bathroom into a safer place. A Safety Step can provide you or your loved one with independence and safe bathing at home.
- Installation completed on existing tub
- Installation in less than one day
- Greatly reduces the possibility of falls
- Enables easy step-in access
