Walk In Tubs Are Perfect For The Disabled And The Elderly

As we get older or for those with a physical disability, bathing can be a challenge and bathing safely is even more so a challenge.

For times like that, having a walk in tub can be one of the best things ever invented. There are several manufacturers with product on the market, but the key to getting the right walk in tub is working with the contractor that will understand your specific circumstances and needs.

When you are elderly and have concerns about getting in and out of walk in tubs or you have disability, it is imperative to get the proper size and made of the right material to serve you best. You want your walk in tub to be not only comfortable, but easy getting in and out safely. Walk in tubs come in many different shapes and size with a variety of features to help eliminate falls and slips.

Regardless how safe they can make walk in tubs though, much of our safety is up to ourselves. We should always be cautious of taking medications prior to taking a bath because many of them make us drowsy. We should always make sure the floor is safe with a skid proof mat at the opening of the walk in tub.

If we require a cane, walker or wheelchair, we should always make sure they are right there for easy reach when we step out of our walk in tub. Always wear slip proof shoes after getting out of the walk in tub as well.
