Make worrying about daily bathing a thing of days gone by, and let our Logan pros get the suitable gear for a safer and much easier life, into your bathroom.

Question 1

1) Why are these tubs so much more expensive than normal tubs?

Mostly you are paying for a list of safety features that are unavailable on a regular tub. These safety features are built into walk in bathtubs for persons with limited freedom to reduce the possibility of falling down. A crucial part of walk in baths is that there is a low step threshold to allow a user to easily enter into the tub unconcerned about the typical high wall of a regular bathtub. The walk-in baths also normally include jet therapy a cleaning function, and improved drain options. Additionally, among the reasons why the price varies among the walk in tubs is that the baths are custom-made depending on someone 's demands rather than factory reproduced, so you can discover a tub that is specially made for someone who desires wheelchair accessibility, a tub that fits a bigger individual, or a soaker tub with jets.

Question 2

2) Will Medicare cover the cost of equipment and installation in Utah?

Medicare does not cover walk-in bathtub equipment and installation costs in Utah, since they're home alterations, not durable medical equipment. Durable medical equipment doesn't contain physical changes to a home, just medical equipment and supplies which are used to help a patient in and out of bed or a chair, or make use of a shower or bath simpler and safer. Consumer Affairs implies that you may want to contact Medicare to see if (for freedom security reasons) a walk in tub is justified to determine whether the equipment can be somewhat compensated. More often than not, it won't be covered by them. However, if you are eligible for Medicaid, the program in your state may offer you some financial assistance for a walk-in bath. You may qualify for a Home and Community Based Service (HCBS) waiver to play for certain specialized medical equipment and accessibility modifications. In the event you are a recipient of Medicare and Medicaid, you must also think about the Double-Eligible Special Needs Strategy. This strategy is a portion of the Medicare Advantage plan for dual eligibles. The Special Needs Plan (SNP) or Medicaid may contemplate your qualifications if you can show that a walk-in tub is medically necessary, not only a convenience, or as a prevention in the instance of a fall, together with a written prescription that clarifies the need for someone to remain residing in their own residence. Medicaid offers an entire listing of waivers relevant to the elderly that we recommend that you review.

Question 3

3) Will the cost of installation and equipment be covered by my disability in Utah?

If your disability was a result of a vehicle or work accident, check together with the appropriate insurance insurance company to see if home modifications resulting from your UT disability are insured. Claims that include Logan house alterations are admissible in insurance settlements. Someone have a medical condition that meets their definition of handicap and qualifies for Social Security disability benefits when they've worked in a job that was insured by Social Security. In case you're injured or on impairment, benefits might be covered. Since SSI is a needs-based plan plus an SSI recipient must have limited income and resources, qualification for the Plan for Achieving Self-Support (PASS) allows a person with a disability to achieve an occupational objective. The cash that is set aside under a PASS may be used for anything that results in an occupational goal and can be used to cover house modifications through an SSI savings strategy. If you're a veteran, the Department of Veterans' Affairs does offer individual programs that could help you deflect some of the cost. You can also ask in the event you are eligible for the which is modeled after Medicaid's Consumer Directed HCBS, or the VA Aid and Attendance, Housebound and other Pensions. Contact the form 26-4555 to apply for a SAH or SHA grant. For advice on all VA benefits in Utah call 1 800 827 1000.

Question 4

4) Is there a way to get Jacuzzi jets in my tub?

Yes. Be mindful of the quantity of atmosphere and also water that comes out of the jets to ensure it is the appropriate amount which will soothe your sore muscles and aches with a massage sense. Jets could be positioned to target particular regions to provide for the greatest effects. Many Logan customers enjoy the therapeutic effect of having jets installed within their walk in tub for an extensive range of health conditions that benefit from the additional easiness.

Question 5

5) Can I convert my existing bathtub into a walk-in one?

Yes. There are instructions available on how to convert your existing bathtub into a walk in tub. We recommend that you just know just how to make use of the tools that are right so that you don't end up with a non-working bathtub. There are firms in Logan that know the best way to turn your house as well as your tub more disability reachable for less of an investment than alternatives. As installers, we know the way to point you in the right direction, so please ask us for a consultation so we can assist you in making your home meet your present wants, particularly if you have recently become disabled or are providing an aged man care-giving in their home or your home.

Question 6

6) How do walk-in tubs drain?

Some systems employ a gravity only drainage system, while other manufacturers offer power-assisted drainage systems. Ordinarily, the drainage system in a walk-in bath is attached to the standard bathtub drain, which is threaded into a horizontal pipe called a waste shoe. The shoe is sealed under its flange with a foam washer or putty. Since a bather cannot leave the tub until all of the water is emptied, the large difference is the fact that manufacturing companies have attempted to reduce the waiting time since sitting there waiting for the water to drain can leave a bather feeling chilled. Comparing double drain choices to fast drain options is significant when considering that most walk in tubs take between 2 and 3 minutes to drain which demands that the temperature in the room be comfortable while they wait. Some characteristics may cost you more, so it's always advisable to ask. Eventually, get to know the difference between frameless tubs since because they do not alter the drain height of your existing tub frameless baths tend to empty quicker than framed tubs and framed tubs. Framed tubs are assembled on a steel frame and the bottom of the bathtub is dangled off the floor. Frameless tubs are designed with an extra-strength form that doesn't necessitate a steel frame and the bottom of the bathtub is not suspended in the air.

Question 7

7) Will a tub like this add to my Logan home’s resale value?

If you reside in a Logan retirement community, installing a walk in bathroom may raise the value of your own home. Otherwise, it probably won't raise the value of your dwelling. Since changes to your toilet don't generally raise the value of your house, cost can be qualified for the medical expense deduction for tax purposes both federally and in Utah if the primary purpose of the enhancements will be to adapt a home to the handicap of the citizen, their partner or dependent living there.

Question 8

8) Do Walk-In Bathtubs Leak?

Yes, they can leak. Consumers who purchased poorer quality fiberglass in a framed walk-in tub have reported that their walk-in tub eventually showed spider cracking in the ground region and then leaked. Another common complaint from people who bought an inferior quality tub and attempted to save money comes from door escapes. Be sure the walk-in bath is rigid and strong to avoid any flex that inhibits a water tight door. Additionally during carrying any damage that may have occurred can loosen appointments and mishandling and cause leakage. Before using the walk in bath, it's important that the bathtub is tested by the installer correctly according to the instruction manual. The water may have problem emptying correctly and may cause the door to leak, if the bath isn't installed degree with the supporting attributes provided. Eventually, make sure you comprehend the risks linked to the placement of your walk in bathtub, especially alcoves, because they have specific requirements to avert leaking.

Question 9

9) Can I choose the color / style to match my interior decoration?

Yes. Check with the manufacturers about Utah options. Colours which are uniform with the majority of bathrooms are only offered by some. Selecting the right walk in bathtub for you means discussing the variety of sizes, styles and layouts to make sure it satisfies your own special needs and room requirements. Since most manufacturers make tubs in cream and white, you may need to pay an added fee for a custom shade.

Question 10

10) What types of financing are available in Utah if insurance doesn't cover home modifications?

The American Elder Care Research Organization lists several other financial assistance avenues to take into account when looking for help to purchase your walkin bath. The USA Rural Development plan is also known as the Section 504 program, the Very Low-Income Housing Repair program as well as the RD 504 Loan Program.

Question 11

11) Can the shower be used still with a walk-in bathtub?

Yes. There are walk in tub installations that provide you with a sizable standing place for stand up showers. You can shower standing up or sitting down. Ensure you get the proper dimensions for the walk in tub so that you do not feel cramped during a stand-up shower. Also, should you intend to maintain your standing shower because if your faucet is not directly against a wall, it is much harder to tap into your existing shower, another thing to keep in mind would be to ask about the faucet place.

Question 12

12) What sort of guarantees are there that these tubs won’t leak and damage my Logan house?

Consumer Affairs urges that an original owner purchase a lifetime warranty to give buyers peace of mind about flows. Additionally, ask if the lifetime warranty is extended to other owners too. For Utah home installments, this will be contained for a set amount of years.
