Question 1

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

Mainly you're paying for a list of safety features that are not available on a regular bathtub. These safety features are built into walk-in baths for individuals with limited mobility to decrease the possibility of falling down. Version wall heights are generally 37 to 47 inches tall and include a built-in shower seat, textured floor, grab bars, anti-scald valves, in-line heater, temperature controls, and a water-tight door. A crucial feature of walk in baths is that there's a low step threshold to permit a user to easily enter into the tub unconcerned about the conventional high wall of a normal tub. The walk-in baths also generally contain jet therapy, a cleaning function, and improved drain choices. Moreover, one of the reasons why the cost varies among the walk in tubs is that the tubs are custom made depending on a person's demands rather than factory reproduced, so you can find a tub that's specially made for somebody who wants wheelchair access, a bath that fits a bigger person, or a soaker tub with jets.

Question 2

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

Check with your Riverside homeowner's insurance to be sure it will cover you against this type of damage. You might need a home alteration permit from the Riverside, CA building department to put in a tub, especially if walls need to be removed to match your toilet plans. Above all, you did not get one AND and in the event you needed a permit your house suffers from damage from the installed walk-in tub, your homeowner's insurance may not cover your losses.

Buyers see the licenses and their homeowners insurance as protections on their investments in houses.

Many walk-in bathtubs are mounted to a stainless steel welded support framework with leveling feet that is included with your bath that was bought. The floor in the toilet should have a structural support strength that transcends the weight of the tub as well as the weight of the water. Our Riverside installer will check to ascertain when it is not, if the floor is level and otherwise, then they are going to make use of the leveling legs to correct the amount of the tub.

Question 5

5) How do walk-in tubs drain?

Some systems employ a gravitation only drainage system, while other manufacturers offer power-assisted drainage systems. Generally, the drainage system in a walk in bath is attached to the standard bath drain, which is threaded into a horizontal pipe called a waste shoe. The shoe is sealed with putty or a foam washer under its flange. Since a bather cannot leave the bath until all the water is drained, the big difference is that manufacturers have attempted to reduce the waiting time since sitting there waiting for the water can leave a bather feeling cooled. Comparing double drain options to accelerated drain options is significant when considering that most walk in baths take between 2 and 3 minutes to drain which requires that the temperature in the room be comfortable while they wait. Some attributes may cost you more, so it's always wise to inquire. Finally, get to be aware of the difference between frameless tubs and framed tubs since frameless baths tend to drain quicker than framed tubs, because they do not change the drain height of your existing bath. Framed baths are assembled on a steel frame and the bottom of the tub is hung off the ground. Frameless tubs are made with an extra-strength mold that doesn't demand a steel framework and the underside of the tub isn't suspended in the air.

Question 6

6) Do Walk-In Bathtubs Leak?

Yes, they can leak. Another common criticism from people who tried to save cash and bought an inferior quality bath stems from door escapes. When buying a walk-in bathtub, ensure you buy a lifetime warranty, because as soon as the door flows, you can't use the tub, until you repair the seal. Make sure the walk in tub is powerful and rigid to prevent any flex that inhibits a water-tight door. Moreover, during the setup procedure, it is highly recommended that the California installer never lift the bath by the pipes, because it can result in escapes. Mishandling and additionally during transporting any damage that could have happened can loosen appointments and cause leakage. Before utilizing the walk in tub, it's significant the installer analyze the bathtub properly according to the instruction manual. If the tub is not installed level together with the supporting features supplied, the water may have trouble draining properly and may create the door to leak. Finally, be sure to comprehend the hazards related to the positioning of your walk-in bathtub, especially alcoves, because they have special requirements to avoid leaking.

Question 7

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

In case your impairment was due to a vehicle or work injury, check together with the appropriate insurance carrier to find out if house modifications resulting from your CA handicap are covered. Claims that include Riverside dwelling adjustments are admissible in insurance resolutions. A person qualifies for Social Security disability benefits when they've worked in a job that was covered by Social Security and have a health condition which meets their definition of disability. Benefits could be insured in the event you're on disability or injured. Since SSI is a needs-based plan as well as an SSI recipient must have limited income and resources, qualification for the Plan for Achieving Self-Support (PASS) allows a person who has a disability to attain an occupational objective. The cash that is set aside under a PASS could be used for anything that contributes to an occupational goal and can be utilized to cover home modifications through an SSI savings strategy. In case you are a veteran, the Department of Veterans' Affairs does offer individual plans that could assist you to deflect some of the cost. You can also ask in case you qualify for the which is modeled after Medicaid's Consumer Directed HCBS, or the VA Aid and Attendance, Housebound and other Pensions.

Question 9

AARP isn't a provider of insurance, but contracts with insurers to make coverage available to AARP members. AARP does not make people health plan recommendations and doesn't cover the cost of walk-in tubs or any health needs. AARP does provide accessibility to medical care tools and coverage like Medicare Supplement Insurance and other health plans to members as a resource, but member benefits are provided by third parties. Check with the plans which are listed in California under the membership services of AARP.

Question 10

10) Can the shower be used still with a walk-in bathtub?

Yes. There are walkin tub installations that offer you a large standing area for stand up showers. You can shower sitting down or standing up. Ensure you get the correct dimensions for the walk in tub so that you do not feel cramped during a standup shower. Also, in case you wish to keep your standing shower because if your faucet is not directly against a wall, it's significantly harder to tap into your existing shower, another thing to keep in mind is always to ask about the faucet location.

Question 11

11) Will Medicare cover the cost of equipment and installation in California?

Medicare doesn't cover walk in bathtub gear and installation costs in California, for the reason that they are house adjustments, not durable medical equipment. Durable medical equipment will not contain physical changes to a home, only medical gear and materials that are accustomed to help a patient in and out of bed or a chair, or use a shower or bathtub simpler and safer. 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 partially compensated. More often than not, they won't cover it. However, if you are eligible for Medicaid, your state's system may offer you some financial assistance for a walk in bath. You may be eligible for a Home and Community Based Service (HCBS) waiver to play for particular specialized medical equipment and availability modifications. In the event you are a receiver of Medicare and Medicaid, it's also wise to think about the Dual-Eligible Specific Needs Plan. The Special Needs Plan (SNP) or Medicaid may consider your qualifications when you can establish that a walk in bath is medically necessary, not just a convenience, or as a prevention in the case of a fall, along with a written prescription that explains the need for someone to remain dwelling in their house. Medicaid provides a whole list of waivers applicable to the elderly that we recommend that you review.

Question 12
