Handicap Accessible Showers

There are currently at least 30 million Americans using wheelchairs and those numbers continue to increase as a large population of people with related challenges look for ways to live independently in their homes. The bathroom can be one of the most dangerous places in your home. It can present many access challenges to people who use a wheelchair or need assistance when bathing. Bathroom safety is one of the number one concerns in making a home accessible to people in this category. Our ultimate goal is to make your bathroom design accommodate your needs so that your comfort is not compromised when you are ready for bath time and your safety is placed in the forefront. 

FIVE THINGS TO ASK YOURSELF  WHEN PLANNING YOUR ACCESSIBLE BATHROOM

1. What bathroom activities will require assistance?
2. Are the medical supplies necessary and where do they need to be placed?
3. Is a tub or shower preferred?
4. What activities may require the use of grab bars and where do they need to be located?
5. Will your condition deteriorate over time and what will your needs be in the future?
