Can You Afford Assisted Living?

Posted by Elite Internet Technologies on December 7th, 2016

With the average cost of a single bedroom adding up to about ,000 per year, it’s important to weigh your reasons before you or a loved one enters these new living quarters. Is real assistance needed for everyday activities or is the move more of a precaution to prevent injuries in the home? This is an important question because its answer could mean the prevention of the loss of tens of thousands of dollars, familiar lifestyle, and independence.

Most injuries that occur in the home each year in the United States happen in the bathroom, with the majority being a result of slipping in or around the bathtub or shower. How do these happen? Wet floors, loss of balance, tripping over the shower entrance or tub wall – these are a few common ways that many home accidents happen, particularly to the elderly.

If bathing safely is the primary concern, there is a much more affordable solution than an assisted living facility – walk in tubs. These tubs allow you to safely enter and exit through a door instead of climbing over the side. They have safety grab bars to help you maintain your balance. An anti-slip seat allows you to enjoy your bath in safety and comfort. The list goes on.

Walk in bathtub prices are much more accessible than people think. Water jets are standard to fill the tub, but other features such as air jets, special lighting, and scent therapy are optional and can be left off if you choose to order that way. However, even with all of the features, walk in tub prices are very little in comparison to an assisted living facility. If it means maintaining independence and safe and comfortable bathing, isn’t it worth it?
