Stop that bathroom being a challenge!
AS WE grow older, daily tasks we once took for granted, such as our cleanliness routine, can become more of a challenge. For those who develop back or leg problems, standing in the shower could become risky, bringing the danger of a fall. Thankfully, we now have slipresistant bathrooms and walk-in baths and showers, helping us to maintain our independence, safety and peace of mind. Low access and extra features, such as hinged seating and grab rails, can make showering possible for those who struggle to stand up or maintain balance. The latest showers are incredibly stylish, adding a touch of class to any bathroom and creating a relaxing refuge of calm. Walk-in baths also make access easier, via a door in the side. They are packed with safety features and often have integral seats to make bathing a relaxing pleasure again, without struggle or worry. Some walk-in baths now feature chromotherapy — lighting which promotes balance, and healing — and a luxurious hydrotherapy spa system, known to encourage relaxation while soothing aches and pains caused by arthritis and other conditions.
