Have your mobility issues reached a point where you need or want a handicap bath tub? Having such a specialized bath tub gives you back the ability to easily bathe without assistance or with minimum aid from someone else. Imagine no more possible injuries or mental and physical frustration when attempting to climb in and out of an impossible normal bath tub. Even though the walk in ones are specialized, most tubs are designed to fit in the space of your regular bath tub. This is important if the allowable space is limited.
A walk in bath tub allows you to get into the tub through a door similar to a gate. The gate is sealed with a button or knob. The tub is equipped with a seat, safety bars, and a shower head that you hold by hand for convenient use. Some tubs offer hydrotherapy, whirlpool, massage sprays, temperature control, and drying features.
Although available for many years in many long-term care facilities, these handicap bath tubs are becoming more popular for home use and allow people with various physical problems to remain at home and be able to bathe in comfort.
Granted that these handicap bath tubs are expensive, check with Medicare or your other insurance to see if the cost may wholly or partially be covered if the tub is being purchased for a medical condition for which your physician could write a prescription. There are also handicap bath tubs made particularly for those people in wheelchairs. They don’t have to get out of their wheelchairs. The door can open and close with the push of a button, and the bather can often continue on perhaps without the assistance of someone else.
As an aid to those challenged by ambulatory problems, the ease of the handicap bath tub can be very much appreciated by you or any caregiver you may have. They are also easy to clean because of their high gloss, and that is another welcome feature. Bath time can become not only a delightful cleaning experience but also a therapeutic session that can relax stiff muscles.

A Handicap Bath Tub Provides Bathing Freedom?
For many who are handicapped or disabled, the opportunity to soak in a hot bath may seem an impossible dream. Getting into and out of a traditional bath tub alone is too dangerous, but they may not have anyone they feel comfortable asking for help with such an intimate task. This is especially unfortunate because soaking in a hot tub could help ease aches and pains associated with a disability. With a handicap bath tub, though, private baths can become a reality. Many people who are handicapped try to convert a traditional tub to one they could use by adding grab bars or a bench seat. This helps, but it doesn’t go far enough and still leaves the user vulnerable to falls. A handicap bath tub, also called a walk-in bath tub, a safety bath tub or a bath tub with a door, greatly reduces that risk. A handicap bath tub is wider and deeper than a traditional tub, sometimes closer to a square shape than a rectangle. One side of the tub has a door which swings in, running nearly down to the floor. There is still a small lip at the base of the door, but it’s short enough to be cleared with a normal footstep. One end of the tub has a built-in bench. This is placed so that a user can immediately sit down once she’s entered the tub. The door closes with a watertight seal so the tub can be filled without leaking around the door. Once seated in the tub, a bather runs water from easily accessible faucets. These tubs do eliminate the possibility of running a bath before getting in the tub, as the door can’t be opened when the tub is full. Many handicap tubs have a hand-held shower attachment as well, adding the ability to shower instead of bathe, or to rinse off after a bath. Some handicap bath tubs are available with optional water jets, turning the bath tub into a therapeutic whirlpool. Some handicap tubs are built to be installed in the opening where a traditional bath tub once stood. Freestanding models are also available, which eliminates the need for remodeling, though it does require a large space with access to plumbing to install the tub.
Is it difficult and costly to install a handicap bath tub?
Installing a handicap bathroom can be done easily and cost effective using modification instead of a full remodel.
