Older adults pay many thousands of dollars to get an accessible shower or bath unit with money they don't have. Three prominent networks that provide estimates on these units are here to change that.

Walk-in tubs can be extremely costly for seniors who want to purchase a unit so they don’t have to lift their legs over traditional bathtub walls, which can be dangerous. Fall accidents cause 6,000 deaths and send 600,000 patients to the ER every year. Older adults who belong to the 75-and-up age group are especially more prone to these kinds of fall injuries than any other age group and 400 to 500 percent more likely to be signed into a long-term care center due to fall accidents.
The Reasons Walk-In Tubs Are So Effective
Becoming more and more popular among elderly homeowners, walk-in tubs answer their needs in very specific ways. First, the safety design features which consist of a low step-up (reaching no higher than 0” – 7” off the ground), easy-to-reach grab bars; a non-slip floor; a wide door, and an ADA-compliant seat that effectively sustain a senior’s choice to bathe independently. And secondly, the therapeutic options a senior can choose to add to his or her unit, including an air bath, whirlpool massage, chromotherapy, aromatherapy, or a custom combination of all four to promote his or her physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
The Launch of SeniorTubs.com
Catering to this upsurge in demand for walk-in tubs, the leading quote website for accessible bathtubs and showers SeniorTubs.com was revamped last Thursday to accommodate even more elderly homeowners in finding affordable quality contractors in their area for their bathroom remodeling projects and walk-in tub additions. The team that administers the website seem to have good relationships with their network of contractors as it’s common to find exclusive deals on the purchase and installation of a walk-in tub. The form submission process is simple and quick to complete and connects homeowners with top contractors bearing free estimates instantly.
If one wishes to try another website offering just about the same service, Remodeling.com is - like the name suggests - has a broad network of many kinds of home improvement contractors, some of which deal in walk-in tubs. The service is easy to use and responds instantly with free estimates depending on the senior's choice of features.
The Cost of Walk-in Tubs
A walk-in tub can cost anywhere from $1,200 to $5,000 and up, depending on the brand, availability, and the cost it took to build it. SeniorTubs.com not only provides free quotes. it gives seniors with Medicaid coverage a list of state-specific organizations with special programs centered around funding home modifications which may or may not cover the purchase or installation of a walk-in tub. The classes of people that are eligible for Community Transitions; Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS), and Veterans Directed Home and Community Based Services (VD-HCBS) are adults over the age of 65, handicapped persons, and veterans or close family members to veterans. The money saved on buying a walk-in tub and installing it can be in the thousands.
