	Walk-In Tubs Make Bathing Safer for Seniors

One-third of all elderly men and women fall at least once a year, according to the National Safety Council. And a prime culprit for many accidents in the home is the bathtub.

In fact, more senior citizens have given up the simple pleasure of taking a bath for fear of slipping and falling as they attempt to step over the side of the tub. Others may not be able to lift themselves back into a standing position once they have finished their bath.

But now, getting in and out of the tub is easier with Premier Bathrooms' "walk-in" baths.

Instead of raising a leg up and over the side, a bather merely steps over the lip of the low-level entry door. In most models, this lip is only a few inches high instead of the 2.5 feet needed to step up and over the wall of a conventional tub.

Once inside, the bather sits on the raised, contoured seat, closes the door, secures it tightly and turns on the faucet.

Premier Bathrooms is the leading supplier of walk-in bathtubs, with showrooms in Daytona, Fla., Chicago and San Diego. The company also provides free, in-home consultations and has its own nationwide network of installers.

Premier's full design and installation services can help remodel any bathroom to enable bathers to get the most use from their tubs. The company makes a walk-in tub for almost any need; new styles include the plus-size Dublin and the extra-compact Stratford.
