Tub to Shower Conversions
"Prevention is better than cure."
Desiderius Erasmus
Aging in place is the process of aging in your own home rather than in a care home. When it comes to planning on aging in place, prevention is truly better than the cure.
If possible, it is more desirable to make your home accessible before the need arises rather than reacting to a crisis.
According to our research into senior fall risks, up to 80% of falls happen in the bathroom. It's only logical: slippery floors, stepping into a tub, tripping on a rug. A single moment can determine if you can remain home or need round-the-clock care.
We would be honored to help you plan to Age in Place in your own home by converting your tub to an accessible shower.
Tub to Shower Conversion
Low Barrier/Curbless

Stepping into and out of a traditional bathtub poses a significant fall risk, forcing many to eliminate a full shower in favor of sink washes. This simply moves the fall risk out of the tub and onto the floor. Installing a low barrier or curbless shower unit removes the step barrirr fall risk.
Maximize Stability
Increased shower floor space gives room for shower chairs, extra grab bars, built-in seating, and slip-resistant flooring. Each additional safety feature decreases the risk of falling and increases your chance of aging in place in your own home.
Space Saving
Converting a tub into a walk-in shower reduces the overall footprint in your bathroom, allowing more space for you to navigate. This is simply one more way to reduce your fall and injury risk.
