Slip-Resistant Showers and Tubs Great for Retirement Communities and Nursing Homes

By

Retirement communities and nursing homes have a higher chance of a resident slipping and falling while taking a shower or bath, for obvious reasons. Installing a slip-resistant shower surface can help reduce these falls, which is one reason Miracle Method offers this bathing safety advancement for these communities in particular but also all customers. We believe it is vital that people of all ages or health can enjoy the comfort of using their bathing without the risk of injuring themselves.

Here are the benefits of having your bathtub or shower pan refinished with the slip-resistant surface offered by Miracle Method:

  • It is chemically bonded to the shower or bathtub and this reduces the chances of them cracking/peeling
  • It is economical and requires less time to install (approximately 1 day) due to their simplistic nature
  • It won’t collect mold and mildew like bathmats, it is easy to clean and much more sanitary
  • It won’t collect dirt, mildew, etch completely into the tub, or crack and become unsightly like appliqués

Aged retiring communities and home care nursing facilities can benefit from Miracle Method’s installation of slip resistant surfaces because they also include the installation of handheld shower nozzles, grab bars, and curved shower rods so as to increase the safety of the users. To learn more about Miracle Method’s bathing options, visit your nearest Miracle Method showroom or our website.

Easy Step Bathroom Safety Package Makes Bathrooms Safer for Aging Parents

By

The summer vacation season is often a time in which we head out to visit family members who live out of town. Adult children often use some of their summer vacation time to visit their parents who they may only see a time or two a year. Sadly, this is usually the time in which they notice that mom or dad isn’t getting around as well as they once did. Their parents’ safety and how they navigate their home, especially the bathroom, becomes a concern. Something must be done in order to ensure the safety of our parents when we can’t be there.

Since most senior adults want to live in their own homes for as long as they possibly can, one option would be to remodel the bathroom to accommodate a parent’s needs. However, remodels are costly, messy, and time consuming, and most senior citizens live on a limited budget and can’t wait for weeks or months on a renewed bathroom space to be installed. A quicker, more cost-effective solution is necessary.

Miracle Method has just the solution adult children and their parents are looking for – an Easy Step Bathroom Safety Package, which includes the Easy Step tub-to-shower conversion, grab bars, and the application of a slip resistant surface. The Easy Step tub-to-shower conversion creates an opening in the side of a tub that will allow bathers to step through the side of the tub, instead of over it, which can significantly reduce the risk of loss of balance and falls. It can be installed with or without a door depending on the needs of the homeowners. The ADA-approved grab bars and slip resistant surface will also help prevent accidents and injuries due to slips and falls.

Before: The wall of the tub was difficult to step over, which could cause one to fall.

After: The Easy Step conversion and grab bars make getting into and out of the tub easier and safer.

With an Easy Step Bathroom Safety Package from Miracle Method, your parents can bathe easier and safer, and they’ll be able to stay in their own home for much longer. You’ll have peace of mind in knowing they can better take care of themselves.
