Finding Your Footing: Exploring Walk-In Bathtubs in Alberta

For seniors and individuals with limited mobility, a traditional bathtub can present significant challenges. Navigating the high sides, slippery surfaces, and potential for falls can make bathing a daunting and even dangerous experience. Fortunately, walk-in bathtubs offer a safe and comfortable alternative, providing peace of mind and enhancing independence for individuals across Alberta.

• Built-in seating: Provides a comfortable and secure place to sit while bathing.
• Handheld shower: Offers flexibility and ease of use.
