A Bath/shower Combination Still The Best Solution

For many people with one or more mobility issues, a walk-in bath/shower combination remains the best solution.
The first detail to look at concerns ‘walk-in’. That refers to the fact that the user hardly has to spend any energy to get into their bathtub, or their shower, and likewise, little energy to get out once they have cleaned their bodies. There are no high bath edges to negotiate, or high steps so you have to lift your feet and legs high when you enter your shower or bathtub. Instead, you simply walk in.
To this end bathtubs have doors on the side and showers almost no step. This makes it so much easier for the disabled person to retain a high level of independence so that they do not have to rely on someone else’s help when they bathe or shower. This is great for their self-image which, especially with the elderly, becomes a sore point when they need the help of others who often treat them as if they were children and no longer adults with a working brain. It is true that some people are severely disabled and will, indeed, always need someone to help them, but many can benefit from a bathtub or shower ...
... made with their specific profile in mind.
The second issue to look at concerns the idea of a (bath/shower) ‘combination’. This means you have a bath and shower combination – also referred to as a hybrid product by some – all in one. It leaves you with the choice to take a shower or enjoy a relaxing bath, all in the same space. The shower is inside the bath, the latter being the place through which you enter: you do not climb into the bath; instead you walk in through a door on the bathtub’s side.
There are choices of these on the market, and the best service providers always discern themselves from the lesser ones by offering great attentive service and, of course, the quality and choices of bathtubs, showers and combinations thereof. They are designed to meet the demands and requirements of so many individuals, right from being easy to get into and out of again, to modern features that offer the user much more than a bath or shower. Instead some of the best ones now offer several additional features to make the bathing experience so much more pleasurable.
For example, they are designed to offer the user certain therapeutic features that include built-in aromatherapy and chromotherapy features among those that customers enjoy. Gentle bubble jets, hydro massage jets and more make these tubs a must for many and, when you are in a hurry, you simply enjoy a shower and get on with things once more. These tubs, showers and combinations/hybrids are meant for the customer with high expectations, and therefore leading service providers and suppliers make sure that they are in a position to offer their following the best options.
Safety is important; therefore anti-slip flooring is included, as are built-in grab bars for added safety. Step-in heights are really low so that the user hardly has to lift a foot when they use these. The best ones come with heated seats and backrests, and their functions can be controlled remotely. Good manufacturers make sure they offer their customers products with advanced features, while trying to keep cost down as far as possible. In most cases these tubs, showers and hybrids are needed by people who have lived in their home for years, which means very little work is required to fit these, as they are fitted in the place where the old tub or shower is removed.
There are choices of these for the public. The best service providers offer their services and tubs, showers and tub/shower combinations on great websites. The combination product still offers the user the best solution in terms of which they will find something great to ensure they have a modern, safe and convenient tub or shower in their home.
