How to choose walk-in tubs in Cleveland
Over 1 in 10 residents in Cleveland are 65 or older, with 40 percent living alone and 47 percent having a disability, according to the city. Ward 5, which includes MidTown, Central, Kinsman and parts of downtown, has the highest concentration of seniors living alone. While seniors live across Cleveland, a large number live in the eastern part of the city in older homes with fewer accommodations for safety.
Walk-in tubs offer easier and safer access for those with reduced mobility and disabilities. Standard features include shower seats, a textured, slip-resistant floor and hand stabilization bars. Some have water heaters and regulators that prevent scalding. Most have short entry steps, hand-held shower heads and higher water depth for soaking.
Suppliers will visit your home to assess your space and provide price quotes. Here are choices for walk-in tubs in Cleveland:
| Type of tub | Common characteristics |
|---|---|
| Soaker | Basic model with shower seat, grab bars, leak-proof entry door and fast draining |
| Whirlpool | Has water jets similar to hot tubs or spas; heaters maintain tub water temperature |
| Aerotherapeutic | Uses whirlpool-style air jets to aid breathing and clear sinuses |
| Hydrotherapeutic | Whirlpool-style water jets soothe joint or muscle pain, may stimulate circulatory and immune systems. |
| Bariatric | Accommodates obese individuals with wider entryway and larger tub and seat |
| Wheelchair access | Entry door swings outward, allowing easy movement from wheelchair to shower seat |
| Combination | Has both air and water jets |
The cost of buying and installing varies widely based on the type of walk-in tub, its features, whether removal of an existing unit is necessary and any modifications. Costs in Cleveland range from $1,700 to over $30,000, with basic models costing $1,800 to $2,500. Suppliers may offer financing options and buyers may consider a home equity loan for costly tubs.
Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance provide coverage only in rare circumstances. Medicare, in rare circumstances, will reimburse the purchaser if the tub is considered a medical necessity. Medicaid has similar requirements governing coverage of walk-in tubs.
Tubs should be professionally installed. One-day installation is possible for basic projects. Any separation or cracks along the edges should be serviced promptly. Basic cleaning involves regularly using a liquid cleaning agent to wipe down surfaces and rinsing thoroughly. Any major issues should be covered by a lifetime warranty, but be certain to ask about any exceptions.
