Improve Your Bathroom with Secure and Comfortable Handicap Showers
Enjoying a hot shower in the morning or later in the evening before going to bed can rejuvenate one and can be highly relaxing for mind, body and spirit. But imagine being unable to take a shower because of some disability and having to depend on others for this simple task. Many of us canât ever consider being so dependent on others that we could not bathe ourselves. Nevertheless, there are many elderly or disabled people who have to rely on others for taking a shower regardless of if they like it or not. Having handicap showers installed in their homes would help make them independent and when recuperating do so with safety, confidence and dignity. Â Â
Designed specifically for people like them these barrier free showers are fabricated with exclusive safety features and incorporate special seats for easy transfer and sitting while showering, curb free access which effectively eliminates the need to step over a potential obstacle entering or leaving the bathing zone and handicap grab bars for added support when needed
Also known as a walk in showers or wheelchair accessible shower, they are often larger than the conventional showers so as to accommodate people dependent on wheelchairs. Due to the lack of any curb on entering they permit a user who is dependent on a wheelchair or walker to roll into the shower and either transfer to a seat installed in the shower or bathe using a waterproof chair.
These ada shower stalls typically include special features such as anti-scald faucets, lever type hand controls to allow people with dexterity issues to operate them with more ease and hand held shower heads with longer hoses to facilitate bathing in a seated position. It is a combination of these features that have made walk in showers safer and more secure when compared to the conventional units.
As we age or become less mobile a fear of accessing a conventional step over bathtub often becomes an issue. Many falls occur each year in the bathroom as a result of difficulty in making what was once a simple transition yet many people still enjoy the pleasure of submerging in warm water when bathing. Walk in bath tubs are designed for this purpose as they reduce the typically high step over necessary to something more manageable and safer for most users so that one can simply walk in or out without difficulty or risk of injury as long as they are able to step over a low curb.
These handicap tubs include a fixed seat at a comfortable height and watertight door, either out-swing or in-swing depending on the specific need. The step over ranges between 4-7 inches depending on the model selected which is substantially less than the typical 14-23 inch step required for a conventional model. There is an assortment of options available including water and or air jets, neck rest pillow, aromatherapy, Chromatherapy and a heated seat
With these innovative walk in tubs and showers, the user can comfortably sit at a height that makes it easy to get up and leave the bathing zone without the need to raise their entire body from a lowered reclining position typically with standard tubs.
Make the bathing experience, manageable, comfortable and safe with quality handicap showers or walk in bathtubs in your home.
