Ask a senior about where they want to live out their remaining years and 9 out of 10 will tell you they want to remain in their homes indefinitely. But for many there are physical barriers in their home that deter them from that desire. One of those barriers is a standard bathroom configuration that makes it difficult to navigate as people age and mobility issues begin.
Accessibath is a bathroom renovation contractor in Puyallup that specializes in safety and accessibility for mature adults and people with mobility issues. Accessibath was started a little over a year ago by Bryan Brown, a local custom home builder for over 25 years that also has a specialization in healthcare facilities and assisted living communities. Accessibath began from Brown’s realization that standard bathrooms meant for active adults were quite dangerous for aging adults. He learned that, according to the CDC, for people aged 65 and older, falls account for nearly 60% of all injury-related ER visits and 80% of those falls occur in the bathroom.
So, he and his VP at Accessibath, Vanessa Barr, began designing better, more accessible bathrooms. Featuring zero-threshold showers, Accessibath bathroom renovations add accessories such as grab bars, handheld shower attachments, shower benches and a chair height toilet to give people peace of mind. An Accessibath renovation creates ease, comfort, and safety for their customers and caregivers with nine beautiful designs to choose from. Selecting from these nine packages means that Accessibath can streamline the renovation and be complete within five business days.
Accessibath designs include a linear shower base, installed directly on the floor joists to create a curbless shower that’s flush with the rest of the bathroom floor. These bases are exceptionally strong and can be built large enough to accommodate a user with a wheelchair, giving them the ability to roll directly into the shower without any obstacles. Some options include easy-to-maintain yet beautiful and affordable tile, natural stone, or wall panels. These wall panels provide a flawless, high-resolution visual reproduction of natural stone in a variety of patterns and colors.
