Walk-In Showers for Seniors: Accessibility Upgrades That Matter

A walk-in shower with grab bars, a bench, and a curbless entry helps seniors age in place safely. Here's what to include.

A safe bathroom is essential for aging in place. A walk-in shower with the right accessibility features lets seniors bathe independently and confidently — without the fall risk of stepping over a tub wall.

Key Accessibility Features

  • Low or no curb: Curbless entry eliminates the trip hazard.
  • Grab bars: Strategically placed bars provide support in and out of the shower.
  • Built-in bench: A fixed seat lets you rest while showering.
  • Handheld showerhead: Easier to use seated or standing.
  • Non-slip floor: Onyx shower bases offer textured, slip-resistant surfaces.

Why Onyx Works for Accessibility

Onyx shower systems are custom-built to your space, so accessibility features like grab bars and benches can be integrated seamlessly. The non-porous surface is also easy to clean for caregivers.
