New designs in bathroom technology make it possible to stay in your home longer and safer if mobility is becoming an issue.
While Suzanne has been diligent with her health care professionals, her timing and need for treatment do not always coincide with office hours. “I figured rather than wait for appoint- ments with them on their time, I would in- vest in a tub and it’s been a huge blessing,” says Suzanne. “In order for me to function, I need to have the blood flow to my joints to keep limber. I was in it at five this morning.” A few
years ago, Winnipegger, Mrs.
Grodecki, had been looking for a different bathing solution for some time. When she moved from her own home into a condo, bathing options had been greatly reduced. “The tubs here were so narrow and so

tight on the arms. Many of the ladies in the building couldn’t go into the tubs,” she commented on the design. Hydrotherapy treatments were recom- mended as part of Mrs. Grodecki’s health care plan. In order for her to receive treat- ments, she would need to leave her home twice a week. She had been considering a walk in bath for some time.
A walk in bath allow bathers to safely en- ter the tub and sit upright. The water will fill to a comfortable chest height level and hydrotherapy options are available. Mrs. Grodecki has had her tub installed for the last two years and continues to be able to bathe independently in comfort.
“It’s the best money I ever spent and I use
it every day. I really love it.” Ability Bathrooms provides free in-home consultations where Phillip Fenn assesses the customer’s short and long term needs. According to both Suzanne and Mrs. Gro- decki, the required renovations to their bathrooms to accommodate the tubs were done quickly, professionally and fell within their price range.
“I take my market seriously and it is really
a buyer-beware market,” says Fenn of the industry. “Lots of companies over-charge for their products and have no service avail- able in the area. I am local and if there are any problems, I am just a phone call away.”
