Cincinnati, OH - Safeway Safety Step, LLC (Safeway) recently introduced the Safeway Tub DoorTM, a product and installation method designed to add a water-tight sealable door to an existing bathtub. Installation includes cutting and removing a section of the existing tub and custom fitting the resulting opening with the Safeway Tub DoorTM. The Safeway Tub DoorTM aids the senior, disabled individual and/or caregiver by removing their biggest barrier and providing easier access to the tub area. The Safeway Tub DoorTM can be installed for a fraction of the cost compared to tearing out and removing the existing bathtub to install more costly renovation options, such as a walk in shower or bath.
Similar to the Safeway Tub DoorTM, the Safeway Step also provides easier access into the bathtub area and does not require the removal of the existing bathtub. However, the Safeway Step does not include a door and transforms the existing bathtub into a more accessible shower once installed.
Safeway's patented accessibility modifications are installed in just a few hours and help reduce the possibility of dangerous falls.
Safeway's accessibility products have been installed for personal homeowners, assisted living and other senior living residences, state and local social programs and hospitality properties throughout the US and abroad.
According to Chris Stafford, President of Safeway Safety Step, Inc., "We are excited at the rapid growth and acceptance of the Safeway line of bathtub modifications as a low cost alternative and Aging in Place solution for home and facility modifications. The Safeway Step and Safeway Tub Door will truly benefit a growing segment of our society to more easily enter and exit the bathtub area."
