Stop worrying about slides and tumbles with new reachable bathroom fixtures, that make showering and bathing safer and substantially easier for individuals that are elderly.

Question 1

1) How do walk in bathtubs work?

When you go into the walk in bath, you shut the doorway and seal it by pulling the handle toward you. Make sure that the handle is locked to be able to avoid any water decline. There are different types of handles determined by the model you decide to buy. Be sure it is a handle that you can quickly operate. Then, you close the floor drain and make sure the anti-scald device has already been preset before utilizing the bathtub. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the operating instructions to estimate which speed works best for your needs in case you plan on using jets. Makers might also recommend a maximum time of use. When you have completed your bath, turn the overflow knob or remove the drain determined by the kind of drain you must empty the water. Pull on the bath leave and handle the bath.

Question 2

2) Will AETNA cover the cost of equipment and installation in Oregon?

Aetna does not cover walk in tubs under their plans that are traditional in Oregon. Aetna doesn't insure walk in bathtubs under their HMO and health network plans either. They usually follow Medicare's criteria for durable medical equipment (DME) items used in the restroom. In the event the member is bed- confined or room - some DMEs are considered medically necessary, instead of a convenience. DMEs are considered medically necessary if it's needed for day-to-day tasks and is primarily medical in nature. Since bathing considered vital and is considered a daily living activity, Aetna lists bathroom items that are considered necessary if a member is not able to bathe or shower without being seated or incapable to transfer to and from a tub.

Question 3

3) Do these tubs use more water than conventional tubs?

Yes. A walk in tub is not usually shorter than an average bath tub, which contains about 2 1/2 feet of water on average. Some manufacturers say that you just use the same amount of water as a typical shower if a regular shower is 7 minutes and you also use 7 gallons of water a minute. Many of the walk in tubs on the market have a 40-80 gallon capacity. The truth is, many manufacturers recommend that you have a hot water tank that admits at least 50 gallons, even though some bathtubs will operate effectively should you fill them with 40-60 gallons.

Question 4

4) Is there a way to re-sell the tub once we are done with it?

You can re-sell locate or used walk in baths being sold online. However, many folks usually want to make sure they are purchasing a walk in bathtub that personally fulfills their needs for the long-term. They are much less likely to choose a huge risk by paying all of the costs related to shipping and the removal of their present tub without a bit more investment and assurance in quality and the condition of their purchase. There's not actually a huge marketplace for used plumbing fixtures. Eventually, if you do believe you could try and resell your walk in tub, the next buyer may want to be aware of if the lifetime warranty is extended to other owners too or if they are going to have to cover the costs associated with a door seal or alternative component damages that may occur with use.

Question 5

5) Will a tub like this look bad for my homeowner’s insurance in Oregon?

Check with your Beaverton homeowner's insurance to be sure it'll cover you against this type of damage. You may require a home adjustment permit from the Beaverton, OR building department to set up a tub, especially if walls need to be removed to coordinate with your toilet plans. Most of all, if you needed a permit and you did not get one AND somehow your house suffers from damage from the installed walk in bathtub, your homeowner's insurance may not cover your losses. If you're planning on ever selling your Beaverton home, there are heaps of buyer beware messages out there which will steer potential buyers from your home if there have been any developments without licenses since it does influence homeowner's insurance. Buyers see the licenses and their homeowners insurance as protections on their investments in homes.

Question 6

6) How do I know these tubs will fully seal and not leak out all over the floor?

Proper installation and initial testing should offer you a leak-proof experience, however there are incidents where they experienced leaks, that customers report. Under proper conditions, the weight of the water should compress the door seal making it totally leak proof. Some units include a second drain under the entry door to help prevent escapes in the event the door does leak. If this feature is comprised, inquire. Because it covers the seal as well as the door in the case of a flow, we highly recommend that you simply get a lifetime warranty. Many people replace the door seal on a walk in tub themselves. In addition, it is crucial that you take great attention of the walk in tub door when the bath isn't in use to prevent premature failure of the seal. Wiping the door seal and door jamb down after every use can keep the integrity of the water seal. Follow the maintenance and care instructions. Additionally, any small collection of debris or soil on the door seal or where the seal comes in contact with the door jamb can lead to a modest escape through the door seal consistently wipe down the door seal.

Question 7

7) About how long does the installation process take with your Beaverton installers?

Once the bathtub arrives, an installation requires between one and three days of work in Beaverton. It really depends upon the extent of the job. You must make us know if there is a crucial deadline involving a family member coming for a visit or a loved one's release from Oregon rehabilitation so that we can do the best we can to accommodate you.

Question 8

8) Are there any kits available for installing my own walk-in tub?

Yes, makers do offer do-it-yourself installations of a bath conversion kit. Depending on whether you possess the correct tools and technical familiarity with the instruments, it is not impossible. Nevertheless, many times, someone believes it is definitely going to be cheap to purchase all the tools that are proper. These tools can be expensive, so ensure you compare the price of buying all of the tools as well as the cost of your time learning the best way to install the kit together with the cost of a professional installation. In case you are someone who does a lot of home improvements, then the instructions may seem fairly easy. If not, you may want to save yourself the trouble and expense by investing in Beaverton professionals who will install it correctly. Just make certain the unit you bought didn't get damaged during transport and they analyze the unit in line with the manufacturer's instructions.

Question 9

9) Can I choose the color / style to match my interior decoration?

Yes. Walk in baths can be personalized to your taste. Check with the manufacturers about Oregon choices. Shades that are uniform with most toilets are only offered by some. Choosing the right walk in tub for you means discussing the selection of sizes, styles and layouts to make sure it satisfies your own special needs and room conditions. Since most manufacturers make bathtubs in white and cream, you might have to pay an additional fee for a custom colour.

Question 10

10) Will AARP cover the cost of equipment and installation?

AARP is not a provider of insurance, but contracts with insurers to make coverage available to AARP members. AARP doesn't make individuals health plan recommendations and does not cover the expense of walk in tubs or any well-being needs. AARP does provide accessibility to medical care tools and coverage like other health plans and Medicare Supplement Insurance to members as a resource, but third parties provide member benefits. Check with the plans which are recorded under AARP's membership services in Oregon.

Question 11

11) Will a tub like this add to my Beaverton home’s resale value?

Should you live in a Beaverton retirement community, installing a walk in bath may raise the value of your house. Otherwise, it likely will not raise the value of your house. Since changes to your bathroom do not usually increase the value of your house, the cost may be eligible for the medical expense deduction for tax purposes both federally and in Oregon if the primary intention of the enhancements would be to adapt a residence to the disability of the citizen, their spouse or dependent living there.

Question 12

12) Can I convert my existing bathtub into a walk-in one?

Yes. There are instructions available on the best way to convert your existing bathtub into a walk-in bath. We recommend that you just understand the way to make use of the proper tools so that you just do not end up with a non-working bathtub. There are companies in Beaverton that know the way to turn your house and your handicap that is tub more accessible for less of an investment than other options. As installers, we know how to direct you in the correct direction, so please ask us for a consultation so we are able to assist you in making your house meet your present needs, especially if you've recently become disabled or are supplying an aged man care-giving in their house or your residence.
