Many people with whom we have spoken have not been able to take a bath for years but instead have had to settle for a stool or chair placed in the shower. Showering enables one to get clean but simply doesn't compare to the relaxing, therapeutic, and comforting effect of being submersed in a bathtub full of warm, soothing water. Those with limited mobility who do still bathe are often forced to rely upon others to assist them in getting in and out of the bath. A bathtub with a door affords the opportunity to retain (or regain) independence, dignity and self-confidence. Often, being able to bathe safely at home contributes significantly to the ability to age gracefully in place, rather than being forced to enter an assisted living facility, or nursing home. For those that find it difficult or impossible to safely step over the side of a conventional bathtub, or are simply afraid that eventually they might slip, fall and hurt themselves, we have the safe solution that will meet all of their specific needs and desires. To enhance the bathing experience, all of the premier Walk-In, Slide-In and handicapped bathtubs we carry offer the therapeutic benefits of hydrotherapy and/or whirlpool. Full product lines from 7 different US and Canadian manufacturers of Walk-In Bathtubs with doors. (contributed by Lisa Arden)
