WALK-IN TUBS HELP THOSE AFFECTED BY MOBILITY ISSUES, MAKING BATHING EASIER THAN EVER BEFORE
For many people with mobility issues or physical disabilities, what once were considered routine tasks, such as taking and enjoying a bath, can now be perceived as dangerous and challenging. Slippery surfaces, high step-ins and lack of support bars can cause falls in the bathroom that carry serious health consequences.
According to recent statistics from the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), falls account for 65.5 per cent of all home injury deaths for adults age 65 to 84, and adults age 65 and older experience an average of 2.3 million non-fatal home injuries annually.
Adding to these startling numbers, over 95 per cent of hip fractures are caused by falls, and one in three adults over the age of 65 will have a fall this year.
Safe Step understands that to enjoy bathing again, they need to provide the safest walk-in tub in the market that will help their customers remain safe, comfortable and independent. Safe Step walk-in tubs are loaded with safety features such as a low step-in, anti-slip surfaces, safety grab bars and a wider door that makes the bathing experience safe again.
The decision to purchase a walk-in tub should be carefully evaluated. The ideal walk-in tub should not only help you stay safe while you bathe, it should also provide pain-relieving therapy by hydro-massaging — to help soothe sore muscles and joints caused by arthritis, rheumatism and poor blood circulation.
Canadian Safe Step Tub Co. is a Canadian owned business supplying the highest quality American made walk-in tubs with the most certifications and the best warranty in the industry. safesteptubs.ca
