What Are the Alternatives to a Walk-In Tub?

Walk-in tubs are not the only safe bathing solution available for seniors or those with mobility challenges. Learn more about the costs associated with other options.

Long-Term Care Services

Older adults who need help with medical and/or personal care may benefit from in-home or long-term residential care.

Unlike a walk-in tub, which is a one-time purchase, care services require yearly payments. A person's individual needs and level of independence will determine the type of care and assistance needed.

Bath chairs, transfer benches and other bath safety equipment allow individuals with various mobility needs to shower or bathe in the comfort and privacy of their own homes. These in-home alternatives are ideal for people who consider safety a top priority and can go without enhanced comfort features.

Roll-In Or Walk-In Showers

Accessible showers like walk-in and roll-in showers promote independence and safety. The main difference between the two is the curb height — walk-ins feature a low-step base, while roll-ins are barrier-free and may be wheelchair accessible.

If you want a safe bathing solution without the added comfort features, you may consider a shower instead of a walk-in tub.

You can expect to pay between $5,000 to $30,000+ for a roll-in or walk-in shower without installation.
