Even before Rick's current health issues, we were discussing those walk in tub/shower things. The kind with the jets and all. I did some research, and it would pretty much be a cold day in Hell before Medicare would cover all or part of it. But Rick would now like to consider it. Both of us have issues with balance, and with him more than me, standing in the shower comfortably and safely is more difficult.
We have two full bathrooms. Master has a shower stall with the sliding glass doors. The other has a tub, which we converted to a step in by having a contractor cut out a part for him to step in to. He is a bug guy, and it is hard for him to get in and out of the shower.
His thought was to replace the tub with the walk in.
Has any one here gotten one? Or used one? We understand the cost involved, but Rick's goal is to stay in this house, and he wants it accessable as possible for both of us. It is all on one floor, and a couple years ago we put in a ramp.
Thoughts, anyone?
