Walk-in Tubs Bring Relief to the Elderly and Disabled

Many people love to bathe in a tub, but are frustrated by the fact they can no longer get in and out safely and comfortably.

The basic function of stepping over a conventional bathtub rim, maneuvering into a seated position, standing back up and once again stepping over that 15- to 21-inch skirt of the conventional tub can be daunting to the elderly and disabled.

Indulge-A-Bath has an affordable solution. Indulge-A-Bath designs, manufactures, sells and installs several lines of tubs that enable one to open the door and take one small step to the renewed joy of bathing safely and comfortably once again.

Safety, Comfort and Independence

Indulge-A-Bath designs its tubs with your safety, comfort and independence in mind. The company has tubs to fit any need.

• The tubs are just inches shorter than conventional tubs or stall showers.
• All of the tubs are designed with a molded anti-slip seat that is 17 inches high — a basic chair height.
• The floor of the tub features a non-slip surface. • Lever-type faucets make opening and closing the
  faucet a snap.
• A hand-held shower with slide rail allows bathers to sit and shower or raise it up and stand.

Hydrotherapy Jets Stimulate Circulation

Indulge-A-Bath designs its tubs with hydrotherapy — 24 air-filled jets massaging you from head to toe, to help stimulate circulation back to your heart, brain, upper/lower extremities and all your joints. It is a great therapy for many ailments and is prescribed by many physicians.

Indulge-A-Bath would like to give you back the comfort and independence most people take for granted. Its carefully designed tubs allow many elderly people the opportunity to stay in their homes much longer. Bathing and personal hygiene are so important in curtailing sickness and helping with recuperation from injury or illness. Some elderly people never fully recover from falls suffered in bathrooms. These falls lead to many other complications and can result in loss of the ability to live independently. If an elderly person has to move from his or her home to an assisted living center, the cost could run from $3,000 to tens of thousands of dollars, depending on the level of care needed.

By minimizing the risk of bathroom falls, Indulge-A-Bath cares for your bathing needs and makes your life easier. Standard installation generally takes one or two days. To arrange an in-home consultation with an Indulge-A-Bath design expert, call: 866-399-2284.
