Reduce Stress and Associated Health Concerns
Aging becomes difficult, and a simple pleasure such as a bath can help ease the body. Stress is inevitable, yet dealing with it can be easy. A walk-in tub allows for easy access, and allows individuals to take a rejuvenating bath. Taking a bath can help relax the nervous system and heighten one’s mood. Stress is often the source of many other health concerns, and immediate relief can mitigate these issues. Walk-in tubs can also help alleviate the aches and pains associated with stress and aging.
Independence and Safety
Moving to a senior home or assisted living space can be intimidating and unappealing for many. Leaving home becomes a sign of losing your independence for the elderly. A walk-in tub can help seniors and those with mobility issues to prolong their independence. However, the key to being independent is safety. A traditional bath tub poses many safety concerns that are eliminated through the installation of a walk-in tub. A door, steps, and a non-slip floor are some features that allow for increased safety and peace of mind. Stay home, maintain your privacy, and stay safe with a walk-in tub.
Increase Savings
In the long-run, a walk-in tub allows for many savings. Maintain your independence and save the costs of joining a senior community or assisted living space. Additionally, you will save costs associated with injuries and pains that may arise from using a traditional bath tub.
Non-Slip Floor
Walk-in tubs may have an anti-slip treatment applied to the floor to increase traction. This property may increase the durability of the tub and even keep it from turning yellow in colour from dirt. A non-slip floor is essential, as research shows that slips and falls among seniors primarily occur in the bath tub.
Shower Seat
A built in shower seat reduces stress due to a smaller chance of injuries. A shower seat also increases support, and a textured surface additionally ensures that seniors do not slip off of the seat. Some shower seats may also have a built in feature which allows the seat to be heated for additional comfort under water.
Walk-In Steps & Swinging Door
Stepping into a traditional bath tub as an elderly individual with aches and pains can be fearful. However, bath tubs with walk-in steps can eliminate this fear, and increase independence. These steps may range from 2 inches to 7 inches in height. A walk-in tub may also have a leak proof door that either swings inwards or outwards depending on the size of the tub.
Grab Bars
Grab bars serve the purpose of improving mobility in the bath tub. Individuals with joint pain, and other mobility issues may require this bar as a means of support. In the bath, a grab bar truly improves confidence and allows for a peace of mind.
Heated Massage Jets
Heaters found in hydrotherapy tubs allow for the temperature in the tub to be monitored. Monitoring the water temperature allows the individual to ensure that the bath is comfortable. Heaters can help reduce stress and relax the body. Water jets within the tub are used to evenly massage the body to relax the body’s muscles, reduce stress and ease any aches and pains.
Aroma-therapy
In addition to water jets and heaters, a built in aromatherapy system also aids in relaxation. Essential oils are used to relax the nervous system through the sense of smell.
