ADA Accessible Showers

People with disabilities often have difficulty using building facilities because most were not made with their needs in mind. However, times are changing, and building contractors are now creating designs that can accommodate all body types and ability levels. It is important to note that disabled people are not the only group affected by inconsiderate building designs. Elderly people with mobility problems also have a very rough time accessing poorly designed sections of buildings.

Today, curbless showers and other easy-to-use bathing facilities have helped these two groups easily use the bathroom. Solace Showers specializes in ADA showers that have functionality and appeal to help provide everyone in your household with a beautiful place to take a bath.

Read on to learn more about these showers and how they can improve the lives of the disabled and elderly people in your home.

The elderly and people with disabilities tend to get tired faster than others. They might need to rest for a minute or bathe while seated. With that in mind, we create various seating options for every elderly shower to help users rest when needed.

These options include movable seats and fixed benches in strategic locations. With such a setup, anyone with mobility issues can easily shower without feeling uncomfortable or tired from standing.

Our disabled shower seats are also comfortable and safe to use, which is what people with disabilities need to make their lives a little more manageable. Options are always available in case you need to rest for a moment. With fixed or moveable shower seating options you gain peace of mind!

Unlike bathtubs, which can have over a foot and a half of entry height, our shower entries are never more than 6 inches high. That means easier entry for Elderly, Disabled, or physically inhibited people is simplified and not burdensome. The entry is one of the defining features of the elderly shower design. Most bathing facilities have a high threshold of about a foot and a half above the ground. While that may have advantages, like stopping shower water from splashing into the rest of the bathroom, it is not ideal for the elderly.

A high curb is an obstacle for anyone with mobility problems, and such a bathroom will require them to have help while using it. Our showers are different in that they have a low entrance threshold with no more than six inches of entry height. That makes it easy for the elderly, children, and people with disability to use the shower without assistance.
