Tub Cut Out Showers for Safer Senior Hygiene

A nice hot shower or relaxing bath is good for your health and well-being. But getting in and out by climbing over the side can be dangerous. That’s why tub cut out showers are an excellent choice for safer senior hygiene.

You don’t have to deal with specific mobility issues to be safer in a more accessible and functional bathroom.

Bathing Independence

Living independently has many elements, and bathing independence is high on the list. As you remain in your home, you want to stay clean with privacy and dignity in comfort. Many caregivers, both paid and family members, are willing to help with hygiene. But most seniors prefer to see to their own needs for as long as possible. 

This is where the tub cut out shower comes in. In a short 2 to 3 hours, homeowners can transform their existing bathtub into a walk-in shower with a non-slip lip only 8 cm (3 inches) high. Even with moderate mobility issues, many seniors can continue to use the modified shower.

Keeping clean is critical to overall health, and everyone deserves a way to get and stay clean. Seniors often face obstacles making independent bathing increasingly difficult. But a tub to shower conversion helps overcome this problem, increasing independence, and making aging in place possible for longer.

If you know someone who is handy or are yourself, a tub to shower conversion is available as a DIY kit. But there’s no need to worry. A contractor can easily install the kit for you. And it doesn’t matter how old your house is. Kits are available in many styles, so one is bound to fit your tub perfectly.

Once installed, you can get into the shower faster, easier, and safer. In fact, once your kit arrives, you could install it this afternoon and have a shower tomorrow morning!
