We can make your bathroom safe and more accessible, many people with disabilities can once again bathe themselves without assistance, an important move toward regaining self-sufficiency and maintaining personal dignity.

Steps to converting a tub to a shower bathtub:

1. The old tub is removed and replaced with a Slip-Resistant Shower Pan.

2.  An acrylic Wall Surround can cover up old tile and unsightly construction work.

3.  Choose a type of Seat:  adjustable, fold-up or stationary.

4.  Choose a type of Grab Bar:  Positioned to help the bather enter & exit the shower.

5.  Adjustable Shower Head: can be held by a seated bather or bracket-held for a standing bather.

6.  Single-Lever Faucets offer two advantages: the lever is easier to manipulate than round handles for those who do not have full use of their hands and both the temperature and flow rate can be adjusted with a single motion.

**As many people with disabilities have limited skin sensation, scald-proof thermostatically controlled or pressure-balanced valves should be used to control the flow of hot water.
