Preserve your Independence with Walk In Tubs
As you begin to age you find that there start to be things that you cannot do, such as lifting things, getting down into bath tubs and much more. The more you age the more that this begins to be a problem and it means that you either need to find someone to help you do these things or you must stop enjoying the pleasures that doing some of these things offer.
There is nothing better than a long hot bath but it is an experience that many of us take for granted and do not realize that someday we may no longer be able to enjoy. As an elderly person a bath may be more than just a pleasure we would like to experience, but for those with arthritis a long hot soak can make all the difference in the world in how they feel. However without the help of a family member or an in-home care person we may not be able to indulge ourselves in such an option.
Walk in Tubs offer the elderly or disabled not only the opportunity to take hot baths whenever they want them but to be able to retain their dignity and independence when they do so. Walk in tubs make it easy for the elderly to take their own bath without having to have someone help them in and out of the bathtub, meaning they can spend as long as they want to in their hot soak and never have to worry about getting back out of the tub when they are done or falling and hurting themselves when they get out.
Walk in tubs have been around for a long time, but over the past few years designs have started to branch out offering a larger number of designs to meet the needs of just about anyone. For those that cannot lift their feet over that rim of the tub there are ramps and doors that allow you to walk out of the tub easily. Tubs also offer hand holds and a variety of options for those who need extra stability in the bath tub, as well as non-skid surfaces to ensure that you will not fall when you get in and out of your new tub.
Seats are designed to be easy to get into and out of and for those that cannot easily sit without help getting up, taller tubs and handles will allow them to navigate the tub with ease. There are many different sizes of tubs to choose from, from those that you can soak your entire body in to traditional tubs just like you are used to. Most tubs also have an optional shower for those that like to take showers rather than baths and oversized handles make it easy for you to turn the water on and off.
If you are looking for a good soaking tub for your aches and pains you can also find a walk in tub that offers Jacuzzi jets to ensure that you get the most out of your soak.
The walk in tub is made to fit in your existing slot where your old bathtub or shower came out of; extensions are available to put a smaller tub in a bigger spot if necessary. Easy to install you will be able to have it installed by the retailer or if you order your tub online you can get a contractor to install it for you quickly and easily.
Walk in tubs are also made for those that are larger, so if you need an XL tub you will also be able to enjoy the pleasures of soaking in a tub and being able to do so in privacy and on your own.
Doors are sealed against leaks and open inward for the greatest ease when getting in and out of your new tub, you can choose between left and right opening doors depending on the layout of your bathroom.
A walk in tub offers not only the ultimate in relaxation it offers you back your independence and your privacy. No more will you need someone to help you in and out of the tub when you want to take a long soak, you will be able to take your time relaxing and unwinding in your own walk in tub and not have to worry about how you will get out or whether you will fall or hurt yourself.
