In most cases, the best way to freshen up before starting your day and after a long day at work is taking a good shower. On such occasions, some individuals may opt to take a bath in a hurry because of various reasons, while others spend the time to relax and cool off while taking a shower, thus prolonging the process. The bathing experience for the aged needs to become more than a few minutes in the showering room or a plunge into and out of a standard bathtub.

The Ella walk-in tub acts as the ideal solution for those who are in their sunset years and there are several other benefits of opting for a walk-in tub. Here are some of the benefits of opting for a walk-in tub.

Independence
One of the disadvantages of using a standard tub is that it poses challenges for some individuals when getting in or out. For that reason, it is quite frustrating and embarrassing for some when they discover that they have no option, but to ask for help whenever they need to use the bathtub, and the hassle is sometimes traumatizing depending on the reason why one may require a helping hand.

The Ella walk-in bathtub withdraws the frustrations of seeking help because it ensures that your bathing experience is worry free and hassle-free by promoting independence. Individuals of all ages can access the walk-in tub conveniently without the need for help, and that addresses privacy concerns. Walk-in bathtubs also uphold the dignity of all individuals accessing the facility.

Safety
Seniors, children, individuals with limited mobility as well as those with a handicap are some of the individuals who use bathtubs on various occasions. The problem is that such individuals risk falling when entering or exiting a standard tub. Additionally, anyone who assumes the responsibility of taking care of the aged or those who need help accessing the bathtub lives in constant fear of the dangers that a standard tub poses on their loved ones.

The walk-in bathtub eliminates such fears because it has grab bars in all critical areas to enhance the safety of all users. Also, there are several walk-in tub options to choose from including models that can lift old individuals with limited mobility and specialty options for those who use wheelchairs to ensure their safety at all times.

Luxury
The design of your bathtub is one of the factors that can make your bathing experience fulfilling and it makes your bathroom inviting in old age. Walk-in bathtubs have a touch of luxury in addition to various therapeutic options for users. Some of the varieties of walk-in tubs include the chromotherapy option, the molded seat variety, and the hydrotherapy option, which turn bathrooms for the aged into a spa every time they get inside the tub.
