The majority of people in the United States aged sixty five and over live in a home that they own, this accounts for seventy nine percent of the senior population over the age of sixty five. At the same time this comes with risks, such as slips and falls. As a result, the demand for accessible bathtubs has risen considerably in the past few years and continues to rise in 2023.

For many of these homeowners, home modifications are needed, they require step free internal bathroom access to boost independence and confidence. The number of seniors with disabilities is on the rise across the country and according to occupational therapists, the need for accessible bathrooms is high, as many slips and falls occur in the bathroom, leading to broken bones.

Those that are aging in their own homes and those that have been discharged from a hospital, need a housing design that offers step free access. Whether relying on a cane, walker or wheelchair, an accessible tub can make all the difference, providing the person with the independence they need to bathe with confidence.

Bathroom facilities should be able to support the older generation, as many prefer to remain in their family homes than move to assisted living. As a result, family members can enjoy peace of mind by turning to an accessible bathtub specialist, providing an easy way to bathe, while reducing safety risks.
