Quit worrying about slides and falls with new reachable bathroom fixtures, that make bathing and showering safer and considerably simpler for elderly individuals.

Question 1

1) How do walk in bathtubs work?

When you enter the walk-in bath, you close the door and seal it by pulling the handle toward you. Make sure that the handle is locked so as to avoid any water decline. There are different types of handles determined by the model you choose to purchase. Make sure it's a handle that you can certainly work. Following that, the floor drain shut and make sure that the anti-scald device has already been preset before utilizing the bathtub. Once the bathtub fills to the desired depth, your bath is ready. Should you plan on using jets, make sure to get familiar with the operating instructions to judge which speed works best for your requirements. Producers may also recommend a maximum time of use. You have to empty the water after you've finished your bath, remove the drain determined by the kind of drain or turn the overflow knob. Pull on the bath handle and leave the tub.

Question 2

2) Will AARP cover the cost of equipment and installation?

AARP is not a provider of insurance, but contracts with insurers to make coverage available to AARP members. AARP will not make health plan recommendations for people and does not cover the cost of walk-in tubs or some well-being needs. AARP does provide coverage like other health plans and Medicare Supplement Insurance and accessibility to medical care tools to members as a resource, but member benefits are given by third parties. Check with the plans which are recorded in California under AARP's membership services.

Question 3

3) Will the cost of installation and equipment be covered by my disability in California?

If your impairment was due to a vehicle or work accident, check together with the correct insurance insurance company to find out if home adjustments resulting from your disability are covered. Claims that comprise Palmdale house adjustments are admissible in insurance settlements. A person have a medical condition which meets their definition of handicap and qualifies for Social Security disability benefits when they have worked in a job that was insured by Social Security. Benefits may be covered in case you are on handicap or injured. Since SSI is a needs-based program along with an SSI recipient must have limited income and resources, qualification for the Plan for Achieving Self-Support (PASS) allows a person with a disability to attain an occupational goal. The money that's set aside under a PASS can be used for anything that contributes to an occupational objective and can be used to cover home alterations through an SSI savings strategy. If you're a veteran, the Department of Veterans' Affairs does offer individual plans that will enable you to deflect a number of the price. There are California home modification grants which are available that might provide you assistance for the installation and purchase of a walk in bathtub: (1) the Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) Grant; (2) the Special Home Adaptation (SHA) Grants; along with the Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) Grant. Contact the VA and ask for VA form 26-4555 to make an application for a SAH or SHA grant. For advice on all VA benefits in California call 1-800-827-1000.

Question 4

4) Do these tubs use more water than conventional tubs?

Yes. A walk-in bathtub is normally taller than an average bath tub, which contains about 2 1/2 feet of water on average. Some producers say if a regular shower is 7 minutes that you use the exact same quantity of water as a regular shower and you also use 7 gallons of water a minute. Most of the walk-in baths available on the market have a 40-80 gallon capacity. In reality, many manufacturers recommend that you have a hot water tank that holds at least 50 gallons, though some baths will function effectively should you fill them with 40-60 gallons.

Question 5

5) Can I choose the color / style to match my interior decoration?

Yes. Check with the producers about California options. Colours which are uniform with the majority of bathrooms are only offered by some. Choosing the right walk in tub for you means discussing the selection of sizes, styles and layouts to ensure it suits your own special needs and room requirements. You might have to pay an added fee for a custom color since most manufacturers make tubs in cream and white.

Question 6

6) Why are these tubs so much more expensive than normal tubs?

Largely you're paying for a list of safety features that are unavailable on a regular bathtub. These safety features are built into walk in bathtubs for individuals with limited freedom to lower the likelihood of falling down. Version wall heights are usually 37 to 47 inches tall and contain a built in shower seat, textured flooring, grab bars, anti-scald valves, in-line heater, temperature controls, along with a water-tight door. An essential feature of walk-in baths is that there is a low step threshold to allow a user to readily enter into the tub unconcerned in regards to the normal high wall of a regular bathtub. The walk in baths also usually comprise a cleaning function, jet treatment, and improved drain alternatives. Also, one of the reasons why the price changes among the walk in baths is that the tubs are custom made depending on an individual 's needs rather than factory copied, so you can discover a tub that is specially made for somebody who needs wheelchair accessibility, a tub that fits a larger person, or a soaker tub with jets.

Question 7

7) Is there a way to get Jacuzzi jets in my tub?

Yes. Be careful of the quantity of air and water that comes out of the jets to make sure it's the appropriate number which will soothe aches and your sore muscles using a massage sensation. Jets may be positioned to target special areas to provide for the greatest effects. Many Palmdale customers enjoy the therapeutic effect of having jets installed inside their walk in bathtub for an extensive array of medical conditions that benefit from the added relaxation.

Question 8

8) Will a tub like this look bad for my homeowner’s insurance in California?

Check with your Palmdale homeowner's insurance to be sure it is going to cover you against this sort of damage. You may require a home alteration license from the Palmdale, building department to install a bath, especially if walls have to be eliminated to match your toilet plans. Most of all, if you needed a license and you did not get one AND your home suffers from damage from the installed walk-in tub, your homeowner's insurance may not cover your losses. If you're planning on ever selling your Palmdale residence, there are lots of buyer beware messages out there that will steer potential buyers from your house since it does impact homeowner's insurance if there have been any advancements without licenses. Buyers see the licenses and their homeowners insurance as protections on their investments in houses.

Question 9

9) Do these tubs drain normally?

Yes. Occasionally, however, it is essential to modify the pipes depending on the precise location of the drains. Installers may need to put in a fitting to the existing wastewater conduit for a walk in bathtub. Existing pipes may allow for slower drain times or quicker drain times.

Question 10

10) Can I make one of these myself?

Yes, but most individuals do not start from scratch, they begin with a bathtub conversion kit. There are instructions available on how to convert your existing bathtub into a walk in tub. We recommend that you simply know the best way to make use of the right tools in order that you don't end up with a non-working bath. There are companies that know how to turn your tub more disability as well as your home reachable for less of an investment than other options. As California installers, we understand just how to direct you in the right direction, so please ask us for a consultation so we can help you make your home match your current needs, particularly if you've recently become disabled or are supplying an aged person care-giving in their home or your house.

Question 11

11) Will a tub like this add to my Palmdale home’s resale value?

Should you reside in a Palmdale retirement community, installing a walk in bathroom may increase the value of your own home. It likely won't increase the value of your home. Since modifications to your bathroom don't usually increase the value of your home, the price can be eligible for the medical expense deduction for tax purposes both federally and in California if the main intention of the improvements will be to accommodate a home to the incapacity of the taxpayer, their spouse or dependent living there.

Question 12

12) Will AETNA cover the cost of equipment and installation in California?

Aetna will not insure walk-in bathtubs under their conventional plans in California. They generally follow Medicare's criteria for durable medical equipment (DME) items used in the bathroom. In the event the member is bed- confined or room - some DMEs are considered medically necessary, instead of a public toilet. DMEs are considered medically necessary if it's needed for daily activities and is primarily medical in nature. Since bathing considered crucial and is considered a daily living activity, toilet items which are considered medically necessary if a member is unable to bathe or shower without being seated or unable to transfer to and from a tub are listed by Aetna.
