In case you live in a Long Beach retirement community, installing a walk in bathroom may increase the value of your own home. It likely will not raise the value of your home. Since modifications to your bathroom don't typically increase the value of your house, the cost may be qualified for the medical expense deduction for tax purposes both federally and in California if the main goal of the improvements would be to adapt a dwelling to the impairment of the citizen, their partner or dependent living there.

Question 2

2) What sort of guarantees are there that these tubs won’t leak and damage my Long Beach house?

Consumer Affairs suggests that you may wish to contact Medicare to see if (for mobility safety reasons) a walk in bath is justified to ascertain whether the equipment can be partly compensated. More times than not, they will not cover it. However, if you're qualified for Medicaid, your state's system may offer you some financial assistance for a walk in bathtub.
