SeniorSafe® Walk-In Tubs :
Advantages & Benefits

Senior Safe Walk In Tubs is located in the United States, and is manufactured 100% in the USA.  Our tubs are American made, of the highest quality materials available. Our premier walk-in tub, the “Senior Safe”, was created with the following goals in mind: 

  • To make a walk in tub with an entry level as low as 1", so that those who have a mobility/handicap issue can get into and out of their tub easily and safely
  • To make the tub installation process much easier than with other tubs, eliminating damage and reducing installation time required
  • To make a tub that is extremely user-friendly for seniors in every way possible
  • To make a tub that is easy to operate and maintain
  • To make a tub that will provide years of safe, comfortable, enjoyable bathing

Understanding the benefits of a framless
SeniorSafe Walk-In Tub

  • First understand that Jacuzzis, whirlpools and garden tubs have been in homes for over 30 years.  They have been installed without a steel frame, and have serviced their owners well.

  • The “Senior Safe” is 3 times thicker than the old style walk in tub, which means no cracking or spidering of the fiberglass (a major problem with walk-in bathtubs).

  • The elimination of the steel frame allows the “Senior Safe” to sit lower to the ground, thus creating the revolutionary 1” step in, the lowest threshold of any walk-in bathtub made.  (The average step up for walk in tubs is 5 to 7 inches.)

  • With the steel frame style of walk-in tubs, if a jet or faucet were to break or start leaking, you would have no room to fix this or any other problem that may occur, without first removing the entire tub, fixing the problem, then reinstalling the tub.  The steel frame style of walk-in tubs, usually made in China or Europe also has a builder’s flange around the edge that causes the walls to have to be removed, or if tiled, re-tiled as well.  Our premier “Senior Safe” has ample room to work or fix any problem within minutes, without the headache of time consuming and often costly tub removal and replacement.

  • Installation and the ability to perform maintenance are two additional important features that set the “Senior Safe” apart from other walk in tubs. Since this newly designed tub does not have a steel cradle frame, it is much easier to install, and can easily be installed by any licensed plumbing contractor.  Thorough, easy to follow installation instructions are provided. Service is made easy because the whole front panel comes off for easy access to the plumbing and motor. That’s different from other tubs currently on the market, which only have two small panels, making it almost impossible to reach any plumbing problem without taking the tub out completely.

  • Because the “Senior Safe” walk-in bathtub is thicker and stronger, it will not flex or wobble like other walk-in tubs.  Also, the extra thick walls are warranted not to graze, spider crack, chip, or delaminate after years of service. In addition, the “Senior Safe” sets a new standard with its hydro- jet massage system. 18 air and ten water jets.

As technology advances, handicapped friendly shower equipment is continuously being engineered to provide improved access to showers and baths. In the case of walk-in tubs, the walk-in design allows those who are unable to lift themselves over the wall of the tub to enter a bathtub with ease. By providing handles and helpful stabilizing rails, walk-in baths help to decrease the likelihood of injuries for those who usually do not have an easy time bathing.  Senior Safe’s premier walk in bathtub, the newly engineered “Senior Safe”, makes for an extremely safe and pleasant bathing experience.  Now, loved ones with physical difficulties will no longer dread bathing.  Rather, they will look forward to using their new “Senior Safe” walk-in tub.

HEALTH BENEFITS of a walk-in tub


Hydrotherapy, the use of water for soothing pain and treating diseases, is one of the oldest and safest methods known for treating various medical ailments.
Muscle aches, tension and stress fade away when you relax in a hydrotherapy bath. Arthritis and joint discomfort respond very favorably to a warm deep hydrotherapy bath.
The hydrotherapy jets turn our walk in tub into a therapeutic spa, soothing tired muscles and aching joints, increasing circulation, giving you greater range of motion and freedom of movement, while providing you with the ultimate safe and luxurious bathing experience.

Physical Benefits of a walk-in tub

  • Relieves arthritis aches and stiffness.
  • Increases blood supply to aching joints, which helps to remove inflammatory particles from the area and relieves pain.
  • Water buoyancy relaxes muscles, and warm water decreases muscle tension, allowing for greater flexibility.
  • Steam rising off hot water can help open up nasal and bronchial passages and improve circulation to aid in maintaining upper respiratory health.
  • Many people find that soaking in a hot tub relieves headache pain, especially pain from tension headaches.
