Our Dover installers are willing to make your toilet safe in order to look after yourself by getting you the appropriate gear.

Question 1

1) Will the cost of installation and equipment be covered by my disability in Delaware?

In case your disability was a result of a car or work accident, check together with the correct insurance carrier to find out if house modifications resulting from your DE disability are covered. Claims that contain Dover home modifications are admissible in insurance resolutions. Someone qualifies for Social Security disability benefits when they've worked in work that was insured by Social Security and have a health condition that meets their definition of handicap. In the event you're injured or on impairment, benefits might be covered. Since SSI is a needs-based program along with an SSI recipient must have limited income and resources, qualifications for the Plan for Achieving Self-Support (PASS) allows a person with a disability to achieve an occupational objective. The money that is set aside under a PASS can be used for anything that results in an occupational objective and can be used to cover home modifications through an SSI savings strategy. If you're a veteran, the Department of Veterans' Affairs does offer individual programs that will allow you to deflect some of the price. There are Delaware dwelling adjustment grants which are available that may give you help for the installation and purchase of a walk in bath: (1) the Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) Grant; (2) the Special Dwelling Variation (SHA) Grants; along with the Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) Grant. You can even ask in case you qualify for the which is modeled after Medicaid's Consumer Directed HCBS, or the VA Aid and Attendance, Housebound and other Pensions. Contact the VA and ask for VA form 26-4555 to make an application for a SAH or SHA grant. For advice on all VA benefits in Delaware call 1 800 827 1000.

Question 3

There are various kinds of handles determined by the version you decide to purchase. Make certain it is a handle that you could certainly function. Following that, you shut the floor drain and ensure the anti-scald device has already been preset before utilizing the tub. Once the bathtub fills to the desired depth, your bath is prepared. Makers may also advocate a maximum time of use. You must drain the water after you've finished your bath, remove the drain determined by the type of drain or turn the overflow knob. Pull on the tub exit and handle the tub.

Question 6

6) Are these tubs as easy to clean as normal tubs?

They are easy to clean, but unlike routine baths, itis recommended to keep a daily cleaning custom with a walk in bath utilizing the products that are right and subsequent manufacturer's recommendations. You would like to really make sure with a walk-in bathroom that you remove scum and spots to secure the surface. Depending on whether you have soft water, hard water, or water, you'll see different types of deposits and spots on your own bath. Get into the habit of wiping down the surfaces that are wet after every use to help avoid the build up scum, that will demand more scrubbing afterwards. Weekly, use cleaners to wash your walk-in bathtub. Products that address your particular water spot and deposits ought to be considered in addition to any indications that these products may destroy the finish on your own bathtub. Since baths are generally either acrylic or fiberglass, you want to familiarize yourself with the most effective cleaning methods for your sort of bath. Fiberglass can easily dull and is porous and brittle and blot. Acrylic is non-porous and simple to wash. Also, if the current weather allows, air out the room so that it does not stay humid all day. Some manufacturers recommend that you open your own bathroom window for an hour daily to let moisture escape.

Question 9

9) Do Walk-In Bathtubs Leak?

Yes, they could leak. Another common complaint from people who attempted to save money and bought a poor quality bath stems from door escapes. When buying a walk-in bath, make sure that you buy a lifetime guarantee, because as soon as the door leaks, the bath can't be used by you, until the seal is fixed by you. Make sure that the walk in bathtub is strong and inflexible to prevent any flex that inhibits a water-tight door. Moreover, during the installation procedure, it is recommended that the Delaware installer never lift the tub by the pipes, because it can result in flows. Additionally during carrying any damage that could have occurred can loosen fittings and mishandling and cause leakage. Before utilizing the walk-in tub, it is significant the installer test the bathtub correctly according to the instruction manual. In case the tub isn't installed level with the supporting attributes supplied, the water might cause the door to leak and may have trouble emptying properly. Finally, make sure to understand the dangers linked to the placement of your walk in tub, notably alcoves, because they have specific requirements to avoid leaking.

Question 10

10) Will Medicare cover the cost of equipment and installation in Delaware?

Medicare does not cover walk in bathtub gear and installation costs in Delaware, since they are dwelling modifications, not durable medical equipment. Durable medical equipment doesn't include physical changes to a home, simply medical equipment and supplies which are used to help a patient in and out of a chair or bed, or use a shower or bath simpler and safer. Consumer Affairs indicates that you might wish to contact Medicare to see if (for freedom security reasons) a walk in tub is justified to determine if the gear may be somewhat compensated. More times than not, they won't cover it. But if you are eligible for Medicaid, the system in your state may offer you some financial assistance for a walk in tub. You may qualify for a House and Community Based Service (HCBS) waiver to play for specific specialized medical equipment and accessibility modifications. If you're a receiver of Medicaid and Medicare, you should also think about the Double-Eligible Specific Needs Strategy. This strategy is part of the Medicare Advantage plan for dual eligibles. The Special Needs Plan (SNP) or Medicaid may contemplate your eligibility if you're able to establish that a walk in bathtub is medically necessary, not merely a convenience, or as a prevention in the instance of a fall, together with a written prescription that describes the requirement for an individual to remain dwelling in their home. Medicaid provides a complete listing of waivers applicable to the elderly that we recommend that you review.

Question 11

11) Can the shower be used still with a walk-in bathtub?

Yes. There are walkin tub installments that provide you with a large standing area for standup showers. You can either shower standing up or sitting down. Make sure you get the appropriate measurements for the walk-in bath in order that you don't feel cramped during a stand-up shower. Additionally, in case you want to maintain your standing shower, because if your faucet is not directly against a wall, it's far harder to tap into your existing shower, another thing to keep in mind would be to ask about the faucet location.

Question 12

12) How do walk-in tubs drain?

Some systems use a gravity just drainage system, while other makers offer power-assisted drainage systems. Normally, the drainage system in a walk-in bathtub is attached to the normal bathtub drain, which is threaded into a horizontal pipe called a waste shoe. The shoe is sealed under its flange with putty or a foam washer. Since a bather cannot leave the bath until all the water is drained, the huge difference is the fact that manufacturing companies have tried to decrease the waiting time since sitting there waiting for the water to drain can leave a bather feeling cooled. Comparing double drain options to rapid drain alternatives is important when considering that most walk in baths take between 2 and 3 minutes to drain which demands the temperature in the room be comfortable while they wait. Some features may cost you more, therefore it is always a good idea to inquire. Eventually, get to be aware of the difference between frameless baths since frameless baths tend to empty faster than framed baths, because they do not alter the drain height of your existing tub and framed baths. Framed baths are assembled on a steel framework as well as the bottom of the bathtub is suspended off the ground. Frameless tubs are designed with an extra-strength form that does not require a steel framework and the bottom of the bath isn't suspended in the air.
