Walk-in tubs have many benefits for senior citizens who want to age in place, like low entry thresholds that allow for safe entry and exit. This can help reduce the risk of falls in the bathroom. Additional features of walk-in tubs for seniors that help reduce the risk of slips and falls during bathing include slip-resistant flooring to help prevent falls while standing up; contoured built-in seating that provides seniors with a safe, comfortable, stable place to sit while bathing; and built-in grab bars aka safety bars to help bathers maintain balance while entering or exiting the tub. These safety features are especially important for elderly people who have balance problems or orthopedic conditions. Many walk-in tub models also feature wide-opening wheelchair accessible doors that can help provide a safe and independent bathing experience for seniors who use mobility aids such as wheelchairs or walkers.
By providing a safer and more accessible bathing experience, walk-in tubs enable seniors to bathe independently without needing assistance from caregivers or family members. This can help seniors maintain their dignity and autonomy while enhancing their overall quality of life.
Walk-in soaking tubs also provide therapeutic benefits for elderly people. Immersion bathing in warm water can relax muscles and reduce stress, improve circulation and lower blood pressure, clear sinuses to improve breathing, and improve sleep, among other health benefits. Many walk-in tub models also come equipped with hydrotherapy jets, which help massage muscles, ease tension, and promote mental and physical relaxation. Jetted walk-in tubs are often used by seniors to alleviate joint pain and stiffness, muscle soreness, and other common ailments associated with aging.
Meditubs are some of the most affordable and well-equipped walk-in tubs for seniors on the market today. Meditub's walk-in bathtubs are designed to provide a safe, comfortable, and convenient bathing experience for people with limited mobility and accessibility needs including senior citizens and wheelchair users. Meditubs are designed and constructed to easily fit into your existing bathroom and make it easier to age safely in place at home.
Meditubs feature a watertight door seal system to prevent water leaking that’s guaranteed for life as well as an enhanced drainage system which permits bathers to get out of the bathtub sooner.
Standard Meditubs make excellent therapeutic soaking tubs for senior citizens. Air jets and/or whirlpool jets can also be added to any Meditub model, which is ideal for seniors who are searching for a quality and affordable hydrotherapy walk-in tub. A wall surround kit can be used to transform a Meditub into a walk-in tub with shower.
The exact model of walk-in tub you choose will depend on what size tub you need, accessibility needs, and other considerations. Some of the most popular walk-in tubs for seniors include:
