Walk-in Showers
Consider replacing a traditional bath with a walk-in shower, making it a safe and accessible option for users with mobility concerns. Low-level-access showers are also an option for preventing leakage.
Walk-in Baths
Walk-in baths are designed to prevent falls by having a door on the side that you can open and close. You should know that you have to enter the bath before turning on the water, and wait for the water to empty before leaving the bath. Walk-in baths are not cheap, and many of them cost between $1,000 and $3,000.
