Walk In Bathtubs Make Bathing Easier
It can be difficult for elderly and physically disabled individuals to safely get into and out of regular bathtubs. They may need extra safety products such as grab bars and/or a caregiver’s assistance. One way to allow these individuals to remain more independent is to install a walk in tub. Walk in bathtubs come in a wide variety of sizes and can fit virtually any space, and you can buy them with any number of different options to create a unique spa experience.
