These developments are by a team within the University of Michigan research department. The tools are designed to be used by consumers, government, and home-care agencies to improve home health care and to provide useful feedback about how it works and why.

The assessments are based on special indicators that look at the processes in

administering flu vaccine, providing physical or occupational therapy, and reviewing patient medication and outcomes. For more details about the assessment, look in the current issue of The Gerontologist magazine or contact the University of Michigan.

Walk In Bathtub Reply to this Comment

I have been in the care industry for over 20 years and I just came across a product that I have never seen before. One of my clients has mobility challenges and it was difficult for her to get cleaned on her own or even with help. Her husband bought her this walk in bathtub that allows her to open a door, step in, sit down and bath. Its amazing and has helped make her life easier. The only issue is that as I researched I found that its not covered by Medicare yet. The cost associated are not too bad, under $4k - to me its worth it and now I recommend it to my clients. Their are a few companies that sell it but my clients bought it from www.homelivingsolutions.com . Has anyone else had experience with this?

Walk In Bathtub Reply to this Comment

Katrina these beneficial bathtubs with doors have been available for many years. We saw them in the UK over 10 years ago. I recently bought one from www.usatubs.com that has all the safety and convenient features built right into it including a heated hydrotherapy spa. They have lots of different models of walk in bathtubs with prices starting at about $2500. I couldn't (and wouldn't) want to live without one now.

walk in tub Reply to this Comment

Hey all, I have one of the hydrotherapy walk-in bath tubs in my house, that I am trying to sell. These tubs are great for people who have limited modility, but they cost like 6 or 7 thousand dollars new. I am very negotiable on the price of mine, I was thinking about $2500, but will take the best offer I get. I am in Raleigh, NC, my number is 919-270-9747, give me a call if you're interested and I'll tell you more about it.

Walk-in Bathtubs Reply to this Comment

I want to tell everyone how much I love my walk in bathtub. I bought the Safety Bath walk in bathtub. The money I spent, about $5000, was well worth it. I bath without anyone helping me. The tub is nice and small and it fit into my bathroom with no problem. It doesn't take a lot of hot water to fill it so I don't have to sit in it and wait for it to fill for too long.

Walk In Tubs Reply to this Comment

I want to find a place for my father to take a bath in a walk in tub. He lives in Seattle--northern suburb with my sister, so he can't buy his own. Is there a senior spa type thing somewhere? If not, someone should start one.

Walk in Bathing Reply to this Comment

With the popularity of walk in bathing and the different choices available, our company felt some important features were missing from some of the other walk in bath designs. For example; - excessive wait times to fill the bath - long wait times to drain the bath - the ability to open & close the door from the seated position - address scalding concerns - installation of the bath, or technical support for customer wanting to install the bath themselves - complete North American manufacturing, "not" China built & then assembled in North America With the design and development of our Pacific Bath, we have over come these important issues. For more information check out our website: www.serenitybaths.com
