Taking A Bath Unassisted – One Of Life’s Small Pleasures

1. Taking A Bath Unassisted – One Of Life’s Small Pleasures The step-in bathtub has many advantages for millions all over the world, right from the senior citizen to the person with limited mobility. This bath is exactly what it says it is: you walk into this bath; you do not have to lift your legs and hips to get into and out of it like you do with a traditional bathtub. It is designed with a door on the side. You open the door, step in, and close it behind you, after which you open the faucets and lay back to enjoy one of life’s small pleasures. Taking a shower is, when unassisted, even one of life’s greatest small pleasures. Having a bathtub with a door through which you step is great for the person that struggles with mobility issues, such as sore legs and knees, or being forced to use a wheelchair. The best of these walk-in bathtubs are designed to make it easy, too, for the man/woman in a wheelchair who is able to maneuver themselves into the tub, position themselves on a seat inside, open the taps and enjoy the shower. Afterwards you simply wait for the water to run out and drain, after which you open the door and step out – onto an anti-slip mat. It is never easy to have to accept that you are no longer so young, agile and strong as you once were and now to have to deal with what the advancing years place in your way, such as not being able to shower unassisted. Bathtubs become a nightmare as you fear you might slip, fall and injure yourself when you get into and out of the tub. The same applies to showers with high steps.

2. The person whose mobility has been compromised, can no longer do all of these things unassisted and may be experiencing feelings of personal loss, feelings of being of less use, feelings of always having to rely on others to help them. It means you place greater responsibilities on the shoulders of your spouse or children, or you may have to hire help to assist. However, if you decide to contact a leading supplier/installer of walk-in bathtubs, you may well have found the right solution. By using a bathtub with a door, many remain independent of the help of others as they simply walk into the bath, or roll their wheelchair into the tub. Of course those with severe injuries or really debilitating circumstances may not benefit from this tub as they may always need help, but many more than before can now carry on as normal and bathe unassisted. These tubs are designed and manufactured to offer the user maximum levels of safety, convenience and comfort and, certainly, a greater sense of independence for the person that no longer moves around easily and with maximum confidence. Also, many of the best ones now have features that older bathtubs and bath systems never could offer. Examples are spa- like features such as jets that spurt water to help massage the skin as you lie back. The really good ones offer their tub with aromatherapy and chromotherapy, all the while you lay back, relax and simply enjoy the sensation of water cleansing body and mind. Of course this category of bathtub is offered by only the leading service providers, those services that spend hours on perfecting the walk-in bathtub, the tub that offers comfort to users with features such as neck rests, built-in seats, and safety features such as ergonomically designed grab and safety bars, and features to help make sure you do not slip and fall.
