Did you know that bathroom falls are one of the major causes of accidents among people with limited mobility? Getting in and out of a bathtub with a high step over is often a dangerous situation for many seniors or persons with mobility impairments and can often make living at one’s own home difficult or nearly impossible due to lack of independence. According to studies performed by the Council of Aging, more than 250,000 accidents occur each year to Americans aged 60 years or older in and around the bathtub area. Two thirds of adults that fall in the bathtub area will fall again within a six-month period. Traditionally the only answer was to rip out the bathtub and install a separate shower at a significant expense, stress, and mess. That’s why we’re so pleased to offer our newest design.
