A walk-in bath is the safest way to go if you run into a disability or if the years take their toll and make it dangerous to climb in and out of a conventional tub. By Cindy McKay

ld gardeners never die, they say, but sometimes they slip in the tub and break a hip – well, that last bit is not


part of the saying, but it is true. Winnipeg business man Phillip Fenn, owner of Ability Bathrooms, is passionate about keeping people independent for as long as they can, even after an accident that causes loss of mobility.


This company specializes in bathroom


renovations and works with their customers to understand what their bathing needs are. Fenn’s experience can be trusted to trans- form ordinary bathrooms into a safe place. Suzanne G. Wiebe of Winnipeg found that she was spending a lot of money on massage and physiotherapy to keep her 63 year-old body mobile.


As an athletic youth, Suzanne participated in gymnastics and numerous other sports pursuits. Up until recently, she would ride her bike to work daily but things changed when she had an accident while on vacation. “For me, sports injuries and mishaps have taken their toll,” says Suzanne of her health. “I got caught in an ocean wave while on vacation in El Salvador that has left me with swelling in my lower back and deteriorating discs.”
