Bathrooms for Seniors

Bathrooms for Seniors Aging in Place

As you get older, the everyday task of bathing can become challenging, especially if you develop mobility issues. If you want to avoid moving into an assisted living facility, the best option is to update your home so it’s more accessible for you. This process usually begins in the bathroom, since that’s where most senior injuries occur. Our experts at Coastal Bath Company can help you create a safe bathroom for seniors in the comfort of your own home.

Safe Bathrooms for Elderly Living at Home

The biggest threat to seniors in the bathroom is tripping and falling. In fact, 80% of senior falls happen in the bathroom, which can lead to serious injuries. Updating your bathroom to be safer and more accessible can reduce the risk of falling so you can feel more confident moving around your home without fear of injury. 

Our experts specialize in bathroom renovations that help local homeowners create safer bathrooms and we hope to have the opportunity to work with you next.

Walk-In Tubs

The majority of bathroom falls happen when seniors have difficulty stepping over the high side of a traditional bathtub. If you want to enjoy the benefits of a warm bath while staying safe in the process, consider remodeling your bathroom and adding a walk-in tub in place of your old bathtub. 

Our walk-in tubs feature a convenient and secure door, allowing you to step inside without stepping over a tall edge. Once inside, you’ll find additional features, such as a non-slip surface, aromatherapy, and chromotherapy with jets and bubblers. 

Beyond that, our walk-in tubs have an air of luxury, thanks to relaxing whirlpool jets and a comfortable built-in seat. With a walk-in tub from Coastal Bath Company, you can enjoy the best of both worlds with a safe and luxurious bathing option.

Walk-In Showers

Some of the customers we work with prefer to take showers instead of baths, but they’re concerned about safety in the shower. In that case, we usually recommend shower options like installing a durable acrylic. With walk-in showers, you can ensure a safer and more accessible option compared to traditional showers. 

We offer high-quality walk-in showers made from durable acrylic. This material is easy to keep clean with minimal effort, making it a great option for seniors. Our walk-in showers also come in a variety of styles, so it’s easy to create an aesthetically pleasing space that’s safe to use.

Other Safety Ideas for Your Bathroom

While adding a walk-in tub or walk-in shower to your bathroom is a big change, there are also some smaller updates you can do to make your space safer as you get older. Consider the following safety options:

• Add grab bars to your tub or shower area or near your toilet. These will help give you extra stability as you move around the bathroom. 
• Update the lighting, which can give you better visibility in the space. 
• Add a shower chair to your bathroom. You can either have one built-in to your new shower or add a moveable one to your bathing area. 
• Opt for slip-resistant flooring in your tub or shower. You can also put down non-slip bath mats to reduce the risk of falling on the wet floor. 
• Install an ADA-compliant raised toilet that is easier to use.
