At Stearns Design Build, we are advocates of Aging in Place. Being at home allows seniors a higher level of independence, while also reducing the stress of individuals having to relocate. As you can imagine, a sense of connection to personal space becomes heightened as we all age.
Our goal was to make this bathroom as comfortable and safe as possible for the homeowners. For this bathroom and client, the reasons were twofold and of tremendous importance. What if you have a bathtub and shower that you can’t get in and out of?
Our solution was ripping them both out and creating a wet area with a roll-in shower and walk-in bathtub. We placed a slip-resistant tile between the two, to prevent any falls.
Now, the bathtub is equipped with a large heated seat with mounted grab bars for safe entry and exit out of the tub. Remodeling this space allowed the creation of a safe haven for our client and of course, a cozy and welcoming space to relax.
