Handicap Shower and Tub Supplier Introduces Wheelchair Accessible Transfer Baths for the Disabled and Elderly
Boston, MA (PRWEB) April 30, 2015 -- The disabled and elderly often have a difficult time finding the right solution for adapting their bathroom at home to fit their current needs. Aging Safely Baths, a leading supplier of walk in tubs and roll in showers, has introduced their wheelchair accessible transfer baths. Unlike traditional walk in bathtubs that require the use of legs and the ability to walk, transfer baths have a cut out door that allows the bather to transfer from the wheelchair onto the bathtub’s fixed seat.
The company staff is available for complimentary consultations to explain the special features of these handicap bath designs. The standard transfer tubs come with hydrotherapy which can be used homeopathically for a number of ailments. The company is very proud of their hydrotherapy feature. Its potential benefits include delivering pain relief from arthritis, lumbago, headaches, diabetes and sciatica. Hydro-therapy may help reduce blood pressure, decrease inflammation, enhance blood circulation, remove toxins and impurities, improve flexibility and promote calmness and relaxation.
The human body is primarily made up of water, a key factor in why this option is effective for so many. It has been recognized for its healing properties for centuries. The combination of water, heat and air has been shown to aid in pain management and promote overall health and well-being. The skin’s light touch receptors react to thermal stimuli by opening the pores, allowing for toxins to exit the body as hydration occurs. Pressure receptors that lie deep in the muscle tissue release tension for an overall feeling of relaxation and calmness.
The wheelchair tubs can come with a number of options. Air jets, water jets, chromotherapy mood lighting, aromatherapy and heated seats. In addition, patrons can select to receive padded seat risers to help give the bather a higher position in the seat, which for some may make it easier to rise out of the tub when finished bathing. Some models can also work in conjunction with hydraulic patient lifts and have an area under the unit that will accept forks to the lift. This is especially a great option for those that don’t have use of their legs or paraplegics.
The aging population is beginning to realize the benefits of staying in their home versus the high costs of assisted living or long-term care. There is something to be said about being able to reside in a place that is familiar and has a feeling of home. Home modifications can be made that can make it easier for the elderly to bath independently and may reduce stressors caused by the fear of falling. While there is no such thing as a perfectly safe product, many of the units supplied by this firm were specifically designed for fall prevention and the elderly. Most of the appliances come standard with safety grab bars which can help bathers balance and have a greater sense of security. The ADA compliant roll in showers also come with grab bars that can be specifically places where it is needed most.
