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.
