Question 1

1) Will AARP cover the cost of equipment and installation?

AARP isn't a supplier of insurance, but contracts with insurers to make coverage available to AARP members. AARP doesn't make health plan recommendations for people and does not cover the cost of walk in tubs or any wellness needs. AARP does provide coverage like other health plans and Medicare Supplement Insurance and accessibility to medical care tools to members as a resource, but member advantages are given by third parties. Check with the plans that are listed under AARP's membership services in Indiana.

Question 2

2) Are there any kits available for installing my own walk-in tub?

Yes, producers do offer do-it-yourself installations of a bath conversion kit. Depending on whether you possess the right tools and specialized acquaintance with the tools, it is not impossible. However, lots of times, someone thinks it's going to be inexpensive to purchase all the tools that are appropriate. These tools may be expensive, so be sure you compare the cost of buying each of the tools and also the cost of your time learning how to install the kit with the cost of a professional installation. In case you are someone who does a lot of home improvements, then the instructions might seem pretty simple. Only make sure that the unit you bought did not get harmed during transportation and they examine the unit according to the Maker 's instructions.

Question 3

3) Do Walk-In Bathtubs Leak?

Yes, they could leak. Another common complaint from people who bought an inferior quality bath and tried to save money comes from door escapes. Ensure that the walk in bath is powerful and inflexible to prevent any flex that inhibits a water-tight door. Furthermore, during the setup process, it's exceptionally recommended that the Indiana installer never lift the tub by the pipes, because it can result in escapes. Additionally any damage that could have happened during hauling can loosen fittings and mishandling and cause leakage. Before using the walk in bath, it's significant that the installer analyze the bathtub properly according to the instruction manual. In case the bathtub isn't installed level with the supporting features supplied, the water might cause the door to leak and may have trouble draining properly. Finally, make sure you understand the dangers associated with the placement of your walk in tub, notably alcoves, since they have specific conditions to prevent leaking.

Question 4

4) How do walk-in tubs drain?

Some systems use a gravity just drainage system, while other makers offer power-assisted drainage systems. Usually, the drainage system in a walk in bathtub is attached to the normal bath drain, which is threaded into a horizontal pipe called a waste shoe. The shoe is sealed under its flange using putty or a foam washer. Some attributes may cost you more, so it is always a good idea to ask. Finally, get to be aware of the difference between frameless baths and framed tubs since because they don't change the drain height of your existing tub frameless tubs often empty faster than framed baths. Framed baths are made on a steel framework as well as the bottom of the tub is hung off the floor. Frameless baths are designed with an extra-strength form that doesn't need a steel frame and the bottom of the tub isn't hung in the air.

Question 5

5) What are some of the benefits of getting one?

The most crucial advantage is that it facilitates your head in the event you have mobility problems, because depending on your circumstance, you can slip on a regular bathtub or have trouble getting into the bath with no low step threshold. By making bath easier, the design of a walk in bath can also make it a lot more convenient for individuals who you depend on in your life and enable you to live more independently. Sliding shower doors can present a risk to elders or those with mobility issues as well as the door for a walk in bath is conveniently made for ease of use. Aside from the advantages of availability and security, living independently in Gary is a real issue for individuals suffering from mobility problems. Other advantages include improved comfort given all the features that are offered to you personally. It alleviates the discomfort associated with common ailments.

Question 6

6) Can the shower be used still with a walk-in bathtub?

Yes. There are walkin bath installations that give you a sizable standing place for standup showers. You can either shower standing up or sitting down. Make sure you get the appropriate dimensions for the walk in bathtub in order you don't feel cramped during a stand up shower. Additionally, if you need to maintain your standing shower, because if your faucet isn't right against a wall, it is far more difficult to tap into your existing shower, another thing to keep in mind is to ask about the faucet location.

Question 7

7) Can I choose the color / style to match my interior decoration?

Yes. Check with the producers about Indiana options. Some only offer shades which are uniform with the majority of toilets. Selecting the right walk in tub for you means discussing the variety of styles, sizes and layouts to ensure it suits your own special needs and room conditions. You might have to pay an additional fee for a custom colour since most producers make bathtubs in white and cream.

Question 8

8) Will the cost of installation and equipment be covered by my disability in Indiana?

If your disability was due to a car or work injury, check with the right insurance insurance company to find out if home modifications resulting from your IN handicap are insured. Claims that include Gary house adjustments are admissible in insurance resolutions. A person have a medical condition which meets their definition of handicap and qualifies for Social Security disability benefits when they have worked in a job that was covered by Social Security. In the event you are injured or on handicap, benefits could be insured. Since SSI is a needs-based plan as well as an SSI recipient must have limited income and resources, eligibility for the Plan for Achieving Self-Support (PASS) allows a person who has a disability to achieve an occupational objective. The money that's set aside under a PASS could be used for anything that contributes to an occupational objective and may be utilized to cover home alterations through an SSI savings strategy. In case you are a veteran, the Department of Veterans' Affairs does offer individual programs that might help you deflect some of the price. You can even ask in the event you meet the requirements for the which is modeled after Medicaid's Consumer Directed HCBS, or the VA Aid and Attendance, Housebound and other Pensions. Contact the VA and ask for VA form 26-4555 to apply for a SAH or SHA grant. For advice on all VA benefits in Indiana call 1 800 827 1000.

Question 9

9) Will Medicare cover the cost of equipment and installation in Indiana?

Medicare will not cover walk-in bathtub gear and installation prices in Indiana, because they are home adjustments, not durable medical equipment. Durable medical equipment doesn't contain physical changes to a home, simply medical gear and supplies that are used to help a patient in and out of a seat or bed, or make use of a shower or bath simpler and safer. Consumer Affairs implies that you may want to contact Medicare to see if (for mobility security reasons) a walk in tub is justified to determine whether the gear can be partly compensated. More often than not, they will not cover it. However, if you are qualified for Medicaid, your state's program may provide you with some financial assistance for a walk-in tub. You may qualify for a Home and Community Based Service (HCBS) waiver to play for particular specialized medical equipment and availability adjustments. If you're a receiver of Medicare and Medicaid, you must also consider the Double-Eligible Specific Needs Strategy. This plan is a portion of the Medicare Advantage plan for dual eligibles. The Special Needs Plan (SNP) or Medicaid may contemplate your qualifications if you can prove that a walk-in bath is medically necessary, not just a convenience, or as a prevention in the instance of a fall, along with a written prescription that explains the requirement for an individual to stay dwelling in their dwelling. Medicaid provides an entire listing of waivers related to the elderly that we suggest that you review. Additionally, contact your Gary or Indiana Area Agency on Aging (AAA) to explore Medicaid Waivers and fiscal options for long term care.

Question 10

10) What sort of guarantees are there that these tubs won’t leak and damage my Gary house?

Consumer Affairs urges that an owner that is initial buy a lifetime guarantee to give buyers peace of mind about flows. Also, ask if the lifetime warranty is extended to other owners as well. For Indiana home setups, this will be included for a set amount of years.

Question 11

11) Can I make one of these myself?

Yes, but most folks do not start from scratch, they start with a tub conversion kit. There are instructions available on how to convert your existing bathtub into a walk-in tub. We recommend that you just know how to make use of the correct tools in order that you do not end up with a non-working tub. There are firms that know just how to turn your house along with your bath more disability reachable for less of an investment than alternatives. As Indiana installers, we know how to direct you in the correct direction, so please ask us for a consultation so we are able to assist you to make your home meet your present needs, especially if you have recently become disabled or are supplying an aged person care-giving in their home or your house.

Question 12

12) Do these tubs use more water than conventional tubs?

Yes. A walk-in tub is not usually shorter than an average bath tub, which includes about 2 1/2 feet of water on average. Some manufacturers say if a standard shower is 7 minutes that you just use the same amount of water as a shower that is typical and you also use 7 gallons of water a minute. Most of the walk-in tubs available on the market have a 40-80 gallon capacity. Actually, many manufacturers recommend that you have a hot water tank that accommodates at least 50 gallons, though some baths will work effectively should you fill them with 40-60 gallons.
