Bathroom remodeling is one of the first things homeowners who are planning on aging in place should consider. As we age, the risk of severe injury as a result of slips and falls increases, and, according to a survey conducted by the National Institute of Health, falls in the bathroom are more than twice as likely to result in injury when compared to falls elsewhere in the home. Bathroom accessibility and safety concerns should be addressed promptly and should be customized to fit the specific needs of the homeowner.
At West Shore Home®, our design consultants and installers specialize in building the perfect baths for seniors. From custom-placed grab bars and foldaway bench seating to handheld shower heads, non-slip shower pans, and more, we’re here to make sure that you’re both secure and comfortable in your new shower.
West Shore Home Baths For Seniors: Where Style Meets Safety
While safety should always be top of mind when performing a bath remodel for seniors, the West Shore Home team believes that luxury is also an important priority. Our goal is always to complete bathroom remodels that are simultaneously safe and stylish, and we’re happy to help homeowners achieve their aging in place ambitions. Here are just a few of the bathroom accessibility features available through West Shore Home.
- Handheld Shower Head: Add an easily adjustable, multi-function shower head to make showering while seated a breeze.
- Corner Shelves: Keep your shower essentials within reach while keeping the shower floor clear of any potential tripping hazards.
- Grab Bars: Grab bars make it easier to safely enter, use, and exit your shower. Choose from a variety of sizes, placement options, and styles to match your exact preferences.
- Retractable Seats: Wall-mounted, retractable teak folding seats allow you to shower while seated without sacrificing valuable space.
- Low-Threshold & Non-Slip Shower Pans: Low-threshold shower pans greatly reduce the risk and exertion associated with stepping in and out of the shower. Plus, non-slip shower pans further reduce the risk of falling.
We’re also ready to take your bath or shower remodel to the next level with additions such as sliding glass doors, foot pedestals, laser-etched acrylic tile, and more!
