My mother needs a walk-in bathtub for safety as she is prone to falls and broke her arm recently. She has Medicare Part B coverage and wonders if it covers the cost of a walk-in bathtub.
Can't say whether it covers the cost or not, but surely you can prevent further accidents by having a walk in bath installed in your home from http://www.nationwide-mobility.co.uk.
Prevention is always better than cure. Also, health & safety should always be given more priority compared to the cost & money.
