Unique Applications: Several features set Safety Bath walk in bathtubs apart from similar products on the market. Safety Bath's Serenity is a compact walk in bathtub which, due to the outward door swing, uses less water and is therefore faster to fill and drain than larger products on the market. In addition Safety Bath models feature very low step in heights.
Safety Bath Supreme is an institutional bathtub designed to fill the void in care home and assisted living facilities for those individuals whose mobility will allow them to walk in to a bathtub to be bathed. The compact appearance of the Supreme makes it less threatening to clients than a lift tub and its design offers €œline of sight dignity€? to the user who lives in an institutional setting but can still retain some independence in bathing.
The Suprem features the hygienic 12 jet San-Air system which eliminates the risk of bacterial contamination when multiple users access the same bathtub. A sanitizing system is included. The Safety Bath Supreme measures 34€? W x 40€? L x 30€?H, its size making it less expensive than traditional institutional lift tubs to operate since it requires less water, fills faster and requires less sanitizing chemical than a traditional lift bathtub. Caregivers find that the Supreme is easy to use and reduces the risk of caregiver injury.
In April, 2006 Safety Bath Inc. unveiled the Safety Bath So-Lo and the So-Lo with Shower Seat. The So-Lo series was designed to meet the demands of the construction industry as well as the changing needs of the aging baby boomer generation. The So-Lo measures 31€?W (43€? W with optional shower seat) 59€?L and 18€?H. Both models feature an inward swing door and low entry step to allow the user to enter safely and easily, accommodating those who want to bathe or shower. The So-Lo with Shower Seat offers a heated seat where the user can sit to shower when tired or unable to stand. The Safety Bath So-Lo and So-Lo with Shower Seat are designed to provide for €œaging in place€?.
Safety Bath Inc. has recently rounded out its product line by offering the Door Insert Kit which can be inserted into a traditional bathtub to allow the user to convert an existing bathtub into a bathtub with a door. While it is common to cut out an opening in a bathtub to permit accessibility the Door Insert Kit goes one step further by permitting accessible entrance without losing the use of the bathtub. The Door Insert Kit is revolutionizing the bathtub industry for aging baby boomers and others who want to remain in their home as long as possible. The Door Kit will provide accessibility without complete bathroom renovation The Kit is available in a range of sizes to accommodate most bathtubs. The Door Insert Kit must be installed by a qualified installation expert.
partner to the Door Insert Kit, the Universal Safety Seat can be installed together with the Door Insert Kit or as an independent component. The Universal Safety Seat is available in a number of custom sizes to fit virtually any bathtub. Constructed of high density polyethylene with a weight capacity of 350 lbs, the Safety Seat can be folded up when not in use and attaches securely to a wall mounted retaining bracket. The Universal Safety Seat allows the user to sit if tired while showering or can be used in placed of a bath chair often set within the bathtub.

Success Stories: €œLuther Care Communities in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan has been fortunate in being able to provide Safety Baths for many of the clients in our facilities. We are very happy with the product. It allows for safe and independent bathing. The height of the Safety Bath allows for very dignified, private bathing, since it obscures the line of sight of the caregiver.€?

Testimonial: As the need grows for home renovations that will allow the home owner to €œage in place€?, one small contractor transforms a 4€™ x 10€™ space into a dream bathroom. The bathroom, which focuses around a walk in bathtub, will accommodate the changing mobility needs of the homeowner. With for the project comparable to a standard bathroom reno, a retired will be able to maintain independence for years to come.
How One Contractor Became His Customer€™s Hero
Contractor Steve Francey transforms a small space in a retired couple€™s home into the bathroom of their dreams to accommodate their limited mobility for about the same cost as a standard bathroom.
Statistics Canada predicts that, by 2031, the number of Canadians aged 65 and over will approach 10 million. To accommodate their desire to remain in their homes, we will see an influx in demand to renovate their homes so they can ‘age in place.€™
For Steve Francey of S. Francey Home Improvements, a significant proportion of his business, which is based in Ontario€™s Durham Region, already reflects the increase in the need for aging homeowners to alter their homes and life style to facilitate changes in health and limited mobility. Though, in the beginning, it happened more by chance than by choice, Francey is building a niche for himself and finds this aging population €œwants to stay in their homes and remain close to friends and family in a familiar community with their healthcare services near by. The only way that€™s going to happen is if we can modify their homes to make them more functional and accessible.€?
Recently, Francey was asked to take a 4- by 10-ft. space at the end of a sun room to create a practical and functional bathroom for a senior couple with limited mobility and tight budget. This couple lived in a small bungalow in a residential retirement community. There was only a crawl space under their house and no access to the shallow attic. They needed a bathroom designed to accommodate the husband€™s limited mobility and progressive loss of balance caused by Parkinson€™s disease. The wife wanted her husband to retain his independence for as long as possible, so designing a bathroom with fixtures to meet their needs and budget was a tall order. But, with Francey€™s enthusiasm, he tackled the challenge and began his search for the needed bathroom solutions.
Preparing for special needs
