Regardless of age, ability or disability, it is important to focus on the safety measures in your bathroom as bathrooms are responsible for the majority of accidents in all homes. People suffering from limited mobility may really find walk in tubs to be an enormous help with bathing. The wide range of handicap tubs available today typically include built in grab bars and a non-slip floor for added stability. They are available with either an in-swing or out-swing door and one particular manufacturer even offers a very unique sliding door. Most handicap bathtubs include wheelchair height seats that allow for easier transfer in and out of the bathing zone and avoid the need to try and stand up from the low position typically with standard bathtubs.

For a user with limited reach or mobility, the simple act of opening or closing a door may not be possible and one may not always have assistance from others to do so. It is also not desirable to always have to depend on others for this assistance. For this reason automatic door openers can offer a viable solution in assisting with this daily task. An automatic door opener is easily installed and requires minimal annual maintenance and years of reliable performance assuming one purchases a quality unit.

A handicap door opener offers unrestricted entry and exit from both residential and commercial establishments by way of a simple wall mounted or hand held push button or remote control. These controls send a signal to handicap door openers to open the door and once the unit times out the door will close.

Taking a shower may prove a real challenge to anyone with restricted mobility. Fortunately the industry has responded and this is no longer an issue. Walk in showers and handicapped showers offer a variety of features to meet the requirements of disabled and senior users. Some suppliers offer a roll in shower without a curb that permits wheelchair access as well as a no-step entry. In commercial applications an ADA shower is required which includes min clearances for disabled users. In all cases a handicapped shower provides a number of advantages which include safe entry and exit, an accessible seat, grab bars and a non slip surface some of which are not always available with standard showers.

Walk in tubs and walk in showers provide the ultimate safety choice when bathing in any bathroom and help prevent dangerous and often life threatening falls.
