Why Is It Important to Make Your Bathroom ADA-Compliant?

At Re-Bath & Kitchens, we help seniors ensure their bathrooms meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. If you’re over the age of 65, making your bathroom ADA-compliant is in your best interest. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that more senior slip-and-falls causing severe injury to happen inside the bathroom than anywhere else in the house. Ways to make your bathroom more ADA-compliant include all of the following:

  • Converting your bathtub or shower area to a walk-in bathtub
  • Adding grab bars inside your shower or tub area for added security
  • Installing slip-resistant flooring inside your bathtub or shower area
  • Adding a shower bench or hand-held showerhead inside your shower
  • Ensuring your toilet seat is at a comfortable height for easier access
  • Installing levers instead of knobs to create a user-friendly experience
  • Widening your bathroom doorway to allow for walkers or wheelchairs
  • Adding additional lighting to avoid potential tripping hazards

What Are the Benefits of Converting to a Walk-In Bathtub?

Are you wary about converting your standard shower or bathtub into a walk-in tub? The process may not be as involved as you expect. Re-Bath & Kitchens has certified aging-in-place specialists to make your senior bathroom makeover a breeze. Today’s walk-in bathtub models may be upgraded to include massaging water jets, heating pads, slip-resistant surfaces, and other additional features to offer seniors increased comfort and support. Benefits of converting to a walk-in tub include:

  • Safety Features – Most walk-in bathtubs provide textured flooring, handrails, built-in seating, and a curbless entrance to reduce the risk of injury while bathing. You can add an in-line heater to help regulate the water temperature or a deck-mounted showerhead for easier accessibility.
  • Pain Relief – Have you ever heard of hydrotherapy? It’s a proven fact that soaking in warm water can be beneficial to your health. By submerging yourself in warm water inside your new walk-in tub, you may find aches and pains from arthritis, fibromyalgia, injuries, and other chronic conditions subsiding more and more each time you soak. Adding a Minute Drain™ button will help your walk-in bathtub drain up to eight times faster, so you won’t have to waste another minute waiting for it to drain once you’re ready to get out!
  • Better Hygiene – When you have a chronic condition or mobility issue, it can be challenging to find the strength necessary to stand in a shower or climb in and out of a bathtub. When bathing itself feels more like a chore than an opportunity to relax, it can be difficult finding the stamina to clean those hard-to-reach areas, resulting in irritated or infected patches of skin. Converting to a walk-in tub makes it easier and more enjoyable for many seniors to keep up with their essential hygiene.
  • A Lasting Investment – While we know the initial installation cost may be more than what you were expecting, a walk-in tub should be thought of as a lasting investment for your health and safety. Not only can a walk-in bathtub increase your home’s value while reducing your risk of a slip-and-fall causing expensive hospital bills, but it can also significantly improve your quality of life and allow you to remain independent with your dignity intact.
