Question 1

Once the bathtub arrives, an installation requires between one and three days of work in Santa Ana. It really depends upon the scope of the work. You should make us know whether there is a critical deadline involving a family member coming for a visit or a loved one's release from California rehabilitation so that we can do the best we can to accommodate you.

Question 4

4) Will a tub like this add to my Santa Ana home’s resale value?

In case you live in a Santa Ana retirement community, installing a walk in bathroom may increase the value of your home. Otherwise, it probably will not increase the value of your house. Since changes to your toilet don't normally raise the value of your house, cost can be eligible for the medical expense deduction for tax purposes both federally and in California if the main intention of the enhancements is to adapt a residence to the incapacity of the citizen, their spouse or dependent living there.

Question 5

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

Yes. There are walk-in bath installments that offer you a sizable standing place for standup showers. You can shower sitting down or standing up. Be sure to get the proper measurements for the walk-in bathtub so you don't feel cramped during a stand up shower. Also, in case you wish to maintain your standing shower, since if your faucet isn't directly against a wall, it is far more difficult to tap into your existing shower, another thing to keep in mind would be to ask about the faucet location.

Question 6

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

If your disability was a result of a work or car injury, check together with the right insurance carrier to see if house adjustments resulting from your CA disability are covered. Claims that include Santa Ana home adjustments are not inadmissible in insurance resolutions. Someone qualifies for Social Security disability benefits when they've worked in work that was insured by Social Security and have a health condition that meets their definition of disability. In case you are injured or on impairment, benefits might be covered. Since SSI is a needs-based plan and 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 achieve an occupational objective. The money that's set aside under a PASS can be used for anything that leads to an occupational goal and may be utilized to cover home alterations through an SSI savings plan. It's possible for you to learn more about PASS through your local Social Security Administration office or call toll free 800 772 1213. In case you are a veteran, the Department of Veterans' Affairs does offer individual plans that will help you deflect a number of the cost. There are California residence modification grants that are available that might provide you support for the installation and purchase of a walk-in bathtub: (1) the Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) Grant; (2) the Special Dwelling Adaptation (SHA) Grants; along with the Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) Grant. You may also request if you are eligible for the which is modeled after Medicaid's Consumer Directed HCBS, or the VA Aid and Attendance, Housebound and other Pensions. Contact the form 26-4555 to submit an application for a SAH or SHA grant. For information on all VA benefits in California call 1-800-827-1000.

Question 7

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

Medicare does not cover walk-in tub gear and installation costs in California, since they are dwelling modifications, not durable medical equipment. Durable medical equipment does not include physical changes to a house, simply medical equipment and supplies that are used to help a patient in and out of a seat or bed, or use a shower or bath easier and safer. Consumer Affairs suggests that you may wish to contact Medicare to see if (for freedom safety reasons) a walk in tub is justified to ascertain whether the equipment may be somewhat compensated. More often than not, they won't cover it. But if you are eligible for Medicaid, the program in your state may give you some financial assistance for a walk-in tub. You may be eligible for a Home and Community Based Service (HCBS) waiver to play for particular specialized medical equipment and accessibility adjustments. In the event you are a receiver of Medicaid and Medicare, it's also wise to think about the Double-Eligible Specific Needs Strategy. Medicaid offers a whole list of waivers relevant to the elderly that we recommend that you review. Additionally, contact your Santa Ana or California Area Agency on Aging (AAA) to investigate Medicaid Waivers and financial choices for long term care.

Question 8

8) Do Walk-In Bathtubs Leak?

Yes, they could leak. Consumers who purchased poorer quality fiberglass in a framed walkin tub have reported that their walk in bathtub eventually revealed spider breaking in the floor region and then leaked. Another common criticism from people who tried to save cash and purchased a lousy quality bath stems from door leaks. When purchasing a walk in bathtub, be sure to purchase a lifetime warranty, because as soon as the door flows, the bath can't be used by you, until the seal is fixed by you. Make sure that the walk-in tub is stiff and powerful to avoid any flex that inhibits a watertight door. Also, during the setup procedure, it is highly advised that the California installer never lift the tub by the pipes, as it can result in leaks. Mishandling and also during transporting any damage that may have occurred can loosen appointments and cause leakage. Before utilizing the walk-in tub, it is significant that the bathtub is tested by the installer correctly according to the instruction manual. The water may have problem emptying correctly and may create the door to leak in case the bathtub isn't installed degree with the supporting features provided. Finally, make sure you comprehend the hazards related to the placement of your walk in tub, especially alcoves, because they have special requirements to avoid leaking.

Question 9

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

Yes. A walk-in tub is not generally shorter than an average bath tub, which comprises about 2 1/2 feet of water on average. Some makers say that you just use exactly the same amount of water as a shower that is typical if a standard shower is 7 minutes and you use 7 gallons of water a minute. Many of the walk-in baths available on the market have a 40-80 gallon capacity. In reality, many manufacturers advise that you've got a hot water tank that holds at least 50 gallons, even though some tubs will work efficiently should you fill them with 40-60 gallons.

Question 10

There are different kinds of handles determined by the model you decide to purchase. Be sure it is a handle that you could easily work. Following that, the floor drain shut and ensure that the anti-scald device has already been preset before utilizing the tub. Be sure to get familiar with the operating instructions to estimate which speed works best for your needs, if you plan on using jets.
