      <image:title>Blog | Affordable Walk-In Tubs - Letter of Medical Necessity for Paying for Walk-In Tubs: How It Works &amp;amp; Ways to Help Pay - 4. What a Medicare Advantage plan may cover</image:title>
      <image:caption>A Medicare Advantage plan (Part C) sometimes offer additional supplemental benefits that Original Medicare doesn’t. In recent years, some plans offer additional benefits focused on fall prevention and home modifications, and a few may provide allowances for bathroom changes including walk-in tubs or low threshold shower entries. Because these policies differ, check your specific Medicare Advantage plan booklet for “home support” or “special supplemental benefits.” Plans provide coverage only under their written rules; always call the number on your card. Medicare Advantage plans may give a cash allowance or vetted-contractor pathway and offer additional in-home support visits. Ask whether your plan will help cover grab bars or bathroom safety products, even if a tub itself isn’t covered.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>State Medicaid programs can provide financial assistance through home and community based services waivers, disability waivers, or a blind and disabled persons waiver. Benefits vary based on income, age, and need. The program’s goal is to keep an older adult at home rather than moving to assisted living. Look for “environmental accessibility adaptations” language. Many states fund grab bars and home modifications for safer entries, and some may provide funds toward the purchase and installation of a tub or a roll-in shower conversion. Contact your local Area Agency on Aging to learn about sources of assistance and programs offered in your county.</image:caption>

VA Medical Center: ask about HISA grant, Aid and Attendance, and benefits offered by the VA. Nonprofits: Rebuilding Together and local charities may fund simple safety upgrades. Manufacturers &amp; lenders: Some tub manufacturers and dealers offer payment plans that spread costs associated with installation.

      <image:title>Blog | Affordable Walk-In Tubs - Letter of Medical Necessity for Paying for Walk-In Tubs: How It Works &amp;amp; Ways to Help Pay - 2. Who needs the letter—and how do you get it?</image:title>
      <image:caption>You usually need the letter when you’ll submit claims, apply for benefits, or ask for reimbursement from an assistance program. Ask the prescriber for a written prescription and the letter together. It should describe how the installation of a walk-in tub would improve safety, what features are required (low entry, grab bars, seat), and why a roll-in shower or other option isn’t adequate. Keep a copy for your records, and verify each funding source’s formatting requirements. Some ask the clinician to include ICD codes; others accept plain language. If your evaluation is offered by a hospital-based therapist, it may even be free of charge.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog | Affordable Walk-In Tubs - Letter of Medical Necessity for Paying for Walk-In Tubs: How It Works &amp;amp; Ways to Help Pay - 3. Will Medicare or Medicaid help pay?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Original Medicare generally does not treat walk-in tubs as durable medical equipment, so Medicare covers the fixtures only in rare, case-by-case situations. That said, Medicare coverage policies intersect with home safety in a few ways: Medicare and Medicaid coordination: Certain state Medicaid waivers can layer onto Medicare, and Medicare covers related medical equipment (for example, transfer benches) when justified. Clinical documentation: A strong letter of medical necessity plus photos of hazards can help demonstrate the need for accessibility improvements, even if the tub itself isn’t approved. Medicaid is different. States run their own Medicaid programs and programs offered under waivers. Some program may fund accessibility changes under home and community based services—or a blind and disabled persons waiver—when modifications are necessary for safety. Coverage rules vary based on state and diagnosis, and some medicaid will pay contractors directly rather than reimbursing you.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog | Affordable Walk-In Tubs - Letter of Medical Necessity for Paying for Walk-In Tubs: How It Works &amp;amp; Ways to Help Pay - 5. Are walk-in bathtubs tax deductible medical expenses?</image:title>
      <image:caption>The IRS lets taxpayers deduct medical expenses as a medical and dental expense when they exceed the threshold for the year and are ordered to make home safer due to a medical need. If your clinician has deemed medically necessary changes to prevent falls, portions of the project that don’t increase property value can be tax deductible as part of home modifications. Keep receipts for the costs associated with the project and the cost of a walk-in tub unit. Ask your tax professional whether you can count labor tied to installation costs. Caregivers may also explore the dependent care tax credit for certain support services, though it’s not designed for fixtures. Always consult a tax pro; we’re simply explaining how the IRS treats categories, not giving tax advice. Good documentation and a letter of medical necessity help when claiming the deduction.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog | Affordable Walk-In Tubs - Letter of Medical Necessity for Paying for Walk-In Tubs: How It Works &amp;amp; Ways to Help Pay - 6. Veterans benefits (HISA, Aid &amp; Attendance) and how they apply</image:title>
      <image:caption>Several veterans benefits may help with accessibility: HISA grant (Home Improvements and Structural Alterations), offered by the VA, can fund modifications toward the purchase and installation of safety items when needed for treatment. Aid and Attendance increases a veteran’s pension when the person is housebound or needs help with activities of daily living; these funds can be used out-of-pocket for safer bathing. Some VA clinical teams approve home modifications—such as tub or shower conversions—when they are necessary for safety. Ask your VA clinician whether the modification is deemed medically necessary, and whether your station has a program may provide an allowance. TRICARE-related programs (TRICARE and CHAMPVA) can review needs too; benefits differ, so check with your case manager.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Not every situation calls for a tub. For narrow spaces, a roll-in shower with grab bars and a secure seat may be the fastest way to restore hygiene and independence. Many families install a handheld shower, slip-resistant flooring, and doorway ramps as fast home modifications while funding decisions are pending. Community nonprofits such as Rebuilding Together sometimes assist with simple accessibility projects for qualifying households. If climbing is tough, ask about wheelchair-friendly layouts and accessibility upgrades that still meet code.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog | Affordable Walk-In Tubs - Letter of Medical Necessity for Paying for Walk-In Tubs: How It Works &amp;amp; Ways to Help Pay - Bullet-point summary to remember</image:title>
      <image:caption>A strong letter of medical necessity explains risks, why a standard bathtub is unsafe, and how a new unit will reduce the risk of falls. Medicaid waivers and Medicare Advantage plan extras may provide help; Original Medicare seldom pays for tubs as durable medical equipment. Veterans can leverage HISA grant, Aid and Attendance, and other programs offered by the VA. For taxes, the IRS may allow deduction of qualified medical expenses tied to home modifications when ordered by a clinician. Keep quotes and receipts; some benefits use reimbursement, while others pay contractors directly. If funding is limited, consider a roll-in shower, grab bars, and other home modifications to improve accessibility and hygiene now. Nonprofits (like Rebuilding Together) and local housing programs can be crucial sources of assistance. Always verify rules, because benefits vary based on state and plan. Plain-English bottom line: With the right paperwork and a smart mix of programs, you can help pay for safer bathing—whether through benefits, tax relief, or step-by-step budgeting—so the project gets approved and the tub installed the right way.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog | Affordable Walk-In Tubs - Letter of Medical Necessity for Paying for Walk-In Tubs: How It Works &amp;amp; Ways to Help Pay - 9. Realistic costs: tub, installation costs, and what to expect to pay</image:title>
      <image:caption>The cost of a walk-in varies widely. Nationally, the cost of a walk-in tub plus installation costs often lands between mid-four figures and low five figures, depending on plumbing, electrical, and wall modification work. You should expect to pay part of the project out-of-pocket even with benefits. Get at least two quotes from licensed contractors and well-rated tub manufacturers. Ask how the tub installed will be supported, which upgrades are optional, and how warranties work. If you’re comparing a tub or shower, consider a low threshold shower conversion. For some layouts it’s less expensive and easier to navigate with a wheelchair. If you apply to programs, request that quotes separate labor and material line items; many reviewers want to see the amount allocated toward the purchase and installation.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A walk-in tub is a tub with a door, low threshold, and seat designed to reduce falls during bathing. Compared with a traditional bathtub, a walk-in bathtub emphasizes access and safety features like grab bars, anti-slip floors, and hand-held sprayers. Many models add hydrotherapy jets, which can raise the cost of the tub and the total cost of the walk-in tub once installation is included.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog | Affordable Walk-In Tubs - Will Medicare Cover a Walk-in Tub? DME Rules &amp;amp; Whether Medicaid Will Pay for a Walk-In Tub - 7. How much do walk-in tubs cost and who pays what?</image:title>
      <image:caption>How much do walk-in tubs cost? National averages range from $2,500 to $9,000 for the unit, plus $1,000–$5,000 for installation of a walk-in depending on plumbing and electrical work. That means the price of a walk-in often totals $4,000–$14,000. Unless your plan states otherwise, be prepared to pay the full amount. Many households pay the full cost, while others mix funding sources (see Section 9). If a plan agrees to help pay for the cost, keep all itemized receipts for the purchase and install a walk-in claim.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Medicare Advantage plans are allowed to offer supplemental bathroom safety benefits. A specific Medicare Advantage plan may require: A physician prescription for the tub stating the tub is necessary for safe bathing and why other options failed. Prior authorization before you purchase the walk-in tub. Use of a supplier that’s enrolled in Medicare or in the plan’s network. Medicare Advantage plans may reimburse a fixed amount or percentage and set caps by year. Read your plan’s bathroom safety or home modification section—some Medicare Advantage plans cover rails and grab bars but not tubs. Others list a small allowance that can cover the cost of limited items. If the item isn’t on the list, the plan won’t cover the cost.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Original Medicare treats tubs as home upgrades; a walk in tub generally isn’t DME. If any plan helps, it will be through Medicare Part B and almost always requires prior authorization. Some Medicaid programs and county waivers can medicaid pay amounts toward accessibility. Expect private pay; gather bids and verify that the contractor will install a walk-in tub to code. Always check the fine print of your plan—some Medicare Advantage plans offering supplemental benefits give small bathroom safety allowances.

      <image:caption>Before getting a walk-in tub, work through this list so you don’t overpay: Confirm whether your Medicare supplement or Advantage plan offers any allowance and whether the medicare coverage rules mention tubs. If your specific Medicare Advantage plan might help, request prior authorization in writing. Ask exactly what it will cover and what documentation it needs. If you rely on private pay, ask the seller to state in writing that the purchase of a walk-in tub is non-returnable and that the installer will install the tub to manufacturer standards. Keep the EOB or denial—it may help you apply for local grants that provide financial assistance.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Yes—many states run Medicaid program waivers that can provide financial assistance for home accessibility. There are several different Medicaid programs and each state defines what the different Medicaid programs allow. Under certain waivers, Medicaid will pay toward bathroom modifications or assistance for a walk-in tub when it prevents institutional placement. Always verify state rules; some require that you purchase and install a walk-in through a registered contractor. Myth buster: Medicare and Medicaid coverage rules are separate. A plan under Medicare may deny, while a state Medicaid program may pay.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>If coverage for a tub is unlikely, consider alternatives to walk-in fixtures that tend to be accepted: Curbless shower with seat and grab bars (often listed as bathroom safety or home modification benefits). Transfer bench, hand-held shower, and rails for a tub or shower you already own. Portable bathing systems used during rehab. These options can be faster to approve because they cost less and don’t involve a door or sealed basin side of the tub.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Installing a tub in smaller bathrooms means checking width, drain, and door swing. Most petite tubs are 26-28 inches wide-enough to fit through a 30-inch doorway with the framing removed. Plan for a minimum rough-in dimension of 46 × 30 inches to allow shims and waterproof backer board. A space-saving inline water warmer keeps bath water warm without adding tank capacity. Installation Note: A licensed plumber should verify floor joists can handle 60 gallons of water plus bather weight.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Space‑saving 26 × 45 walk‑in tubs fit in the same space as a standard alcove yet feel surprisingly spacious and versatile—ideal for small spaces. Resin or fiberglass shells offer a durable finish and multi‑year warranty. Combo air‑and‑water jets provide soothing foot, calf, and back massage for a true spa vibe. A fast inline water warmer plus fast‑fill faucet reduce wait times without adding additional space to plumbing. Low entry lip and mounted handrails boost accessibility for aging adults and wheelchair‑accessible bathrooms. Models are designed for smaller homes: they’re light enough for a mobile home, yet strong enough for bariatric users. Choose an outward door, anti‑slip floor, and safety grab bar package for the highest quality safety upgrades without sacrificing comfort.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog | Affordable Walk-In Tubs - Do Walk-In Tubs Leak? - Understanding the Design Features that Prevent Leaks</image:title>
      <image:caption>To gain a deeper understanding of the design features that prevent leaks in walk-in tubs, it's essential to examine the construction of these tubs. Walk-in tubs are specifically designed with a low threshold for easy entry and exit. The door seal is meticulously engineered to create a water-tight barrier when closed, eliminating any possibility of leaks. Additionally, the doors are often equipped with a rubber gasket or seal that further enhances the water-tightness. These design elements work in harmony to ensure that no water escapes during use, providing users with a worry-free bathing experience. Furthermore, walk-in tubs are equipped with a wide range of safety features, including anti-slip flooring and grab bars. These features not only enhance the overall safety of the tub but also contribute to preventing leaks. By providing users with a stable and secure bathing environment, the risk of accidental damage to the tub or its seals is minimized, further reducing the likelihood of leaks.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog | Affordable Walk-In Tubs - Do Walk-In Tubs Leak? - Debunking the Myth of Leaks</image:title>
      <image:caption>Walk-in tubs are equipped with several design features that effectively prevent leaks. Firstly, the doors of these tubs are constructed with high-quality materials, such as durable acrylic or fiberglass, which are resistant to wear and tear. These materials are also designed to withstand water pressure, ensuring that no water escapes through the door seal. Additionally, walk-in tubs feature a strategically placed latch system that securely locks the door in place, creating a watertight seal. This latch system is designed to withstand the pressure exerted by the water, eliminating the possibility of leaks. Another important design feature that prevents leaks in walk-in tubs is the presence of a built-in overflow drain. This drain acts as a fail-safe mechanism, ensuring that the water level never exceeds a certain point. In the event that the water level rises too high, the overflow drain automatically drains the excess water, preventing any potential leaks. This feature provides an additional layer of safety and peace of mind for users.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>While debunking the myth of leaks is important, it is equally crucial to highlight the numerous benefits that walk-in tubs offer to seniors and individuals with mobility issues. Walk-in tubs provide a safe and accessible bathing solution, allowing individuals to maintain their independence and dignity. These tubs are designed with features such as built-in seats and easy-to-reach controls, making bathing a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Moreover, the therapeutic benefits of walk-in tubs, such as hydrotherapy and air massage systems, can provide relief for those with arthritis, joint pain, or muscle stiffness. Additionally, walk-in tubs can significantly reduce the risk of accidents and falls in the bathroom. According to the National Council on Aging, falls are the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries among older adults. By providing a secure and stable bathing environment, walk-in tubs help to mitigate this risk, ensuring the safety of seniors and individuals with mobility issues. With these tubs, individuals can maintain their independence and continue to enjoy the simple pleasure of bathing without the fear of slips or falls.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Air walk-in tubs, also known as air jet walk-in tubs, provide a spa-like experience by releasing thousands of tiny air bubbles into the water. These bubbles create a gentle massage effect, soothing tired muscles and improving blood circulation. The air jets in these tubs can be adjusted to provide varying levels of intensity, allowing users to customize their bathing experience. In addition to the therapeutic benefits, air walk-in tubs also offer the convenience of easy access. The door of the tub opens and closes smoothly, ensuring a safe entry and exit. Many models also come with additional features such as hand-held showerheads and temperature controls, further enhancing the overall bathing experience. It's important to note that air walk-in tubs require a power source to operate the air jets. Therefore, it's essential to ensure that your bathroom has the necessary electrical connections before considering this type of tub. Additionally, air walk-in tubs are typically more expensive than traditional soaker tubs due to the added features and technology.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Hydrotherapy walk-in tubs are specifically designed to provide therapeutic benefits through the use of water jets. These powerful jets release streams of warm water that target specific areas of the body, providing relief for muscle aches, joint pain, and other ailments. Hydrotherapy has been proven to be highly effective in improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and promoting relaxation. One of the key features of hydrotherapy walk-in tubs is the ability to adjust the intensity and direction of the jets. This allows users to personalize their bathing experience and target specific areas of the body that require attention. Some models even offer additional features such as chromotherapy, which uses colored lights to enhance the relaxation and healing effects of hydrotherapy. While hydrotherapy walk-in tubs offer numerous benefits, they are generally more expensive than other types of walk-in tubs due to the advanced technology and features they incorporate. Additionally, these tubs require a power source to operate the water jets, so it's important to ensure that your bathroom has the necessary electrical connections.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>For individuals who prefer the convenience of both a walk-in tub and a shower, a walk-in tub and shower combo is an excellent option. These tubs are designed with a built-in showerhead and handheld shower wand, allowing users to easily switch between bathing and showering. The combination of a walk-in tub and shower provides versatility and flexibility for individuals with varying bathing preferences. In addition to the convenience of a shower, walk-in tub and shower combos offer all the safety features of a traditional walk-in tub. The low step-in height, non-slip floor, and grab bars ensure a secure bathing experience. Some models even come with additional features such as built-in seats and hydrotherapy jets, providing the best of both worlds. It's important to note that walk-in tub and shower combos may require additional space in the bathroom due to the need for a separate shower area. Therefore, it's essential to consider the available space and layout of your bathroom before choosing this type of tub.</image:caption>

These tubs have a wider door and a more spacious interior, providing ample room for comfortable bathing. Bariatric walk-in tubs also come equipped with reinforced frames and additional support bars to ensure the safety and stability of the user. In addition to the enhanced size and support, bariatric walk-in tubs often offer the same therapeutic features as other types of walk-in tubs. This means that individuals with larger body sizes can still enjoy the benefits of hydrotherapy and other therapeutic treatments. It's important to note that bariatric walk-in tubs may require additional modifications to the bathroom, such as expanding the doorway or reinforcing the floor.

      <image:caption>The traditional soaker walk-in tub is the simplest and most basic type of walk-in tub available. It is designed to provide a deep and relaxing soak, similar to a standard bathtub. These tubs typically have a built-in seat, allowing the user to comfortably sit while enjoying a warm bath. The door of a traditional soaker walk-in tub opens inward, and it is important to ensure that there is enough space in the bathroom for the door to swing open without any obstructions. One of the key advantages of a traditional soaker walk-in tub is its affordability. Compared to other types of walk-in tubs, these models are generally more budget-friendly. Additionally, they are easy to install and require minimal maintenance. However, it's important to note that traditional soaker walk-in tubs do not offer additional features such as hydrotherapy or air jets. For individuals who prioritize simplicity and a traditional bathing experience, a soaker walk-in tub can be an excellent choice.

      <image:title>Blog | Affordable Walk-In Tubs - Walk-In Tub Installation: What You Need to Know - The Installation Process: Plumbing, Drain, and Electrical Considerations</image:title>
      <image:caption>The install process involves several steps and requires careful attention to plumbing and electrical considerations. First, the installer will remove your old tub. This involves turning off the water supply and disconnecting the drain and water lines. Next, the contractor will prepare the space.

For example, the drain may need to move, new water lines may need to be added, or an electrical circuit with a GFCI for a jet or heater could be required. Then, the installer will place the new tub in the space, connect it to the plumbing and electrical systems, and ensure that it is level and secure. Finally, the installer will test everything to ensure it is working correctly.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog | Affordable Walk-In Tubs - Walk-In Tub Installation: What You Need to Know - Understanding the Need for a Walk-In Tub</image:title>
      <image:caption>The need to get a walk-in tub varies from one homeowner to another. For some, it's a matter of convenience; for others, it's a necessity for safe and independent living. You can review the pros and cons of walk-in tubs in our blog. A walk-in tub provides an easy access bathing solution for those with mobility issues. Instead of climbing over a high bathtub wall, one can simply open a door, walk in, and bathe safely and comfortably. Typical safety features include grab bars, non-slip flooring, and a built-in seat, providing a safer and more comfortable bathing experience. Moreover, there are therapeutic benefits. Many models come with hydrotherapy jets, which can help to relieve arthritis pain, soothe sore muscles, and promote relaxation. These benefits make the investment worthwhile for many homeowners.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog | Affordable Walk-In Tubs - Walk-In Tub Installation: What You Need to Know - Assessing the Existing Layout: Place the Tub &amp; Widen Bathroom Door</image:title>
      <image:caption>Once you've made a selection, the next step is to assess your existing bathroom layout. This involves measuring your bathroom space to ensure everything will fit, and considering any necessary modifications. For instance, you may need to modify your bathroom door to accommodate the width of the unit. In some cases, you might need to move the toilet or sink to make room (sometimes even an inch requires modifications). Also, keep in mind that your existing plumbing and electrical systems must be able to handle demand, and may need to be adjusted. Assessing your bathroom layout beforehand can help to prevent potential issues during the process. It's always a good idea to discuss your bathroom layout with a professional to ensure that the process goes smoothly.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog | Affordable Walk-In Tubs - Walk-In Tub Installation: What You Need to Know - The Role of a Professional Installer</image:title>
      <image:caption>The role of a professional installer is crucial. An experienced contractor can answer any questions, and ensure that everything is installed professionally and safely, minimizing the risk of leaks or other issues. The contractor will handle all aspects of the project, from lifting and removing your old tub to testing the new one. They will also handle any necessary modifications to your bathroom, such as moving the toilet or adjusting the plumbing and electrical systems. Moreover, a professional can provide valuable advice and guidance throughout the process. They can help you choose the right model, assess your bathroom layout, and prepare your bathroom for the project.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog | Affordable Walk-In Tubs - Walk-In Tub Installation: What You Need to Know - Choosing the Right Tub for Your Needs</image:title>
      <image:caption>Choosing the right walk-in tub for your needs is an essential step. You'll need to consider the right model to fit your home's bathroom layout, your budget, and your specific needs. When choosing, consider size and shape. It should fit comfortably in the existing space in your bathroom (some tubs require large amounts of space). Additionally, consider the door design. Some models have inward-opening doors, while others have outward-opening doors. An inward-opening door requires less bathroom space, but an outward-opening door may be easier for those with severe mobility issues to use. There are also features and accessories to consider. Do you prefer whirlpool jets for a spa-like experience? Or perhaps you need additional safety features, like a built-in seat or grab bars. The right choice for you will depend on your personal preferences and needs.</image:caption>

Reduced healthcare costs: The safety and health advantages of walk-in tubs can lead to lower medical expenses, as they help prevent accidents and injuries caused by slips and falls. Potential increase in property value: Installing a walk-in tub can potentially increase the value of a home, especially if located in a retirement community or an area with a high demand for senior-friendly accommodations. Combined savings: Some walk-in tub models offer bundled features, allowing buyers to enjoy several beneficial features in a single package.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Deep relief: Walk-in tubs allow bathers to soak in deeper water compared to traditional tubs, providing enhanced circulation and mobility while relieving pain. Hydrotherapy: Many walk-in tubs are equipped with water jets unlike standard bathtubs, but similar to those found in outdoor hot tubs. These jets massage tense muscles and joints, offering therapeutic benefits. Hot tub benefits at home: Unlike outdoor hot tubs, walk-in tubs offer the convenience of being able to use them at any time in the privacy of one's own home. Some models even come with built-in heaters to maintain the water temperature throughout the bath.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Hidden expenses: Advertisements for walk-in tubs often do not disclose the additional costs of a walk-in tub associated with features like quick-fill and drain fixtures, water jets, adjustable showerheads, built-in seating, and temperature controls. Installation costs: Walk-in tubs require professional installation, and depending on the bathroom layout and specific tub model chosen, structural modifications may be necessary, adding to the overall expense. Plumbing and electrical upgrades: Some homeowners may need to upgrade their plumbing and electrical systems to accommodate the installation of a walk-in tub, incurring additional costs. Water heater capacity: Walk-in tubs hold a larger volume of water compared to standard tubs, potentially requiring an increase in the size of the home's water heater. This additional expense should be factored into the overall cost of the walk-in tub.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The walk-in bathtub seat is one of the features that makes it stand apart from a traditional bathtub. There are many different types of integrated seats, which support different personal needs. However, all integral seats add another layer of safety, security and comfort while bathing. They are also positioned adjacent to the tub door for easy access. This means you can get in and out with ease. A powered seat is another option. It looks a bit like a U-shaped saddle that hugs either side of your waist and slowly lowers you down into the tub. The powered seat lift then places you carefully into the tub. The warm tub water is added once you're in the proper position. Once done? With the click of a button, it will raise you up once more and give you the leverage and support required to exit the tub. Interested in extra comfort? There are also options for heated seats. Some models even heat the back of the seat and the arm rests, too. It’s almost like the bathtub is giving a warm hug! You can also add extra padding. The cushions make it a super soft place to rest a weary head, relax and unwind.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>As there are a wide range of easy access baths, there are many different types of tub doors too. Each door type is specially designed with accessibility in mind. You may notice that they come in various shapes. The U-shaped doors are common and have rounded edges for safety. Wheelchair accessible walk-in tubs often use L-shaped doors. This shape and the extra-wide opening helps with the transfer from the seat of a wheelchair to the seat of a bathtub. Walk-in bathtub doors also swing in different directions depending on the model. This is something to talk through with your professional walk-in tub installer or specialist. If you’re remodeling a smaller bathroom, you might consider an inward swinging tub door. These work well in small spaces. On the other hand, outward swinging doors often allow for a bigger soaking tub and have extra accessibility benefits. Some bathtub models have doors that open in both directions.</image:caption>
