The Most Fundamental of All Needs
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are a total of 61 million adults – to date – living with a disability within the United States. This translates to one out of every four people. In addition to this, it has been found that:
- 1% suffer from mobility issues with results in serious levels of difficulty in walking, climbing stairs, and showering alone
- 2% have problems doing errands and daily tasks alone – such as caring for their personal hygiene – which negatively impacts their ability to live independently.
- 6% experience issues in self-care activities, such as bathing, dressing, and even putting their own shoes on
Bathing and/or showering are considered to be the most fundamental of all needs, when it comes to self-care. In fact, the only things that top the importance of personal hygiene is eating and ensuring proper hydration. While most of us experience ease in bathing or showering, there are millions that simply avoid the task altogether due to its difficulty. These are the people that absolutely will benefit 100% from handicap-accessible baths & showers.
What are Handicap Accessible Baths and Showers?
Baths and showers that are considered to be “handicap accessible” are those that are designed with a special entrance that is free from barriers. In short, these products are suitable and accessible for those that use mobility devices such as scooters, walkers, and wheelchairs. If you are one of the millions with a disability, transitioning to either a handicap accessible bath or shower could mean you can live independently for longer – possibly even the duration of your lifetime!
