Our Macon installers are willing to make your toilet safe so you could take care of yourself by getting you the proper equipment.

Question 1

1) Will a tub like this add to my Macon home’s resale value?

If you live in a Macon retirement community, installing a walk-in bath may increase the value of your own home. Otherwise, it probably won't raise the value of your dwelling. Since changes to your toilet do not usually increase the value of your house, cost can be eligible for the medical expense deduction for tax purposes both federally and in Georgia if the main objective of the enhancements is to adapt a residence to the impairment of the citizen, their partner or dependent living there.

Question 2

2) About how much will one of these tubs cost to get installed?

The installation can really cost you about $1,500-$3,000 to be installed in Macon. Occasionally the cost of the unit and the setup is a better investment than paying for a caretaker.

Question 3

3) Will Medicare cover the cost of equipment and installation in Georgia?

Medicare doesn't cover walk in bathtub equipment and installation costs in Georgia, because they are house adjustments, not durable medical equipment. Durable medical equipment will not include physical changes to a house, just medical equipment and materials that are used to help a patient in and out of bed or a seat, or make use of a shower or tub easier and safer. Consumer Affairs suggests that you may wish to contact Medicare to see if (for freedom security reasons) a walk-in bath is warranted to determine whether the gear may be somewhat compensated. More often than not, it won't be covered by them. But if you are eligible for Medicaid, your state's system may give you some financial assistance for a walk in bath. You may be eligible for a Home and Community Based Service (HCBS) waiver to play for certain specialized medical equipment and accessibility adjustments. In case you are a receiver of Medicare and Medicaid, you also had better consider the Double-Eligible Specific Needs Plan. This strategy is part of the Medicare Advantage plan for dual eligibles. Medicaid offers an entire listing of waivers related to the elderly that we recommend that you review.

Question 4

4) What sort of guarantees are there that these tubs won’t leak and damage my Macon house?

Consumer Affairs recommends that an owner that is first buy a lifetime guarantee to give peace of mind to buyers about flows. Additionally, ask if the lifetime guarantee is extended to other owners as well. For a set amount of years, this will likely be contained for Georgia dwelling setups.

Question 5

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

They're easy to wash, but unlike routine tubs, itis wise to keep a day-to-day cleaning custom with a walk-in bath following manufacturer's recommendations and utilizing the products that are appropriate. You wish to really make sure with a walk in bathroom that you remove spots and scum to protect the surface. Get into the habit of wiping down the wet surfaces after each use to help avoid the build up scum, that will demand more scrubbing afterwards. Weekly, use cleansers to wash your walk in bath. Products that address your specific water stain and deposits should be considered in addition to any signs that these products may ruin the finish in your bathtub. You want to get familiar with the best cleaning techniques for your kind of bath since tubs are usually either fiberglass or acrylic. Fiberglass is brittle and porous and can easily dull and spot. Do not use harsh abrasive products on fiberglass. Acrylic is nonporous and easy to clean. Also, if the weather permits, air the room out in order that it does not stay humid. Some manufacturers advise that you just open your bathroom window for an hour every single day to let moisture escape.

Question 6

6) Can I convert my existing bathtub into a walk-in one?

Yes. There are instructions available on the best way to convert your existing bathtub into a walk in tub. We recommend that you understand the way to make use of the tools that are correct so that you just do not end up with a non-working tub. There are businesses in Macon that understand just how to turn your disability that is bath more and your home reachable for less of an investment than other options. As installers, we know the way to point you in the correct direction, so please ask us for a consultation so we are able to assist you in making your house fulfill your present wants, especially if you've recently become disabled or are providing an aged individual care-giving in their own house or your home.

Question 7

7) How do I know these tubs will fully seal and not leak out all over the floor?

Proper setup and initial testing should offer you a leakproof experience, however there are incidents where they experienced escapes that customers report. Under proper conditions, the weight of the water should compress the door seal making it completely leak proof. Some units comprise a second drain under the entrance door to help prevent escapes if the door does leak. If this feature is comprised, inquire. Because it covers the seal as well as the door in the instance of a leak, we highly recommend that you simply get a lifetime guarantee. Many people replace the door seal on a walk-in bath themselves. Also, it is crucial that you take good attention of the walk-in tub door when the bath isn't in use to prevent early failure of the seal. Wiping door jamb and the door seal down after every use can keep the integrity of the water seal. Follow the care as well as maintenance directions.

Question 8

8) How much do walk-in bathtubs cost in Macon?

A walk in bath in Macon commonly ranges in price from $1,700 to over $30,000. The price also fluctuates depending on whether you pick acrylic or fiberglass tubs. Everybody differs and making sure that a walk-in bath works for somebody 's unique position is extremely critical since it's usually replacing a bath or bathtub assembly that isn't fulfilling their needs. A great walk-in bath runs between $3,000 and $8,000 installed. Some providers provide a cash bonus or monthly obligations.

Question 9

9) How do walk in bathtubs work?

When you enter the walk in tub, you close the door and seal it by pulling the handle toward you. Make sure the handle is locked so as to avoid any water decline. There are different types of handles depending on the version you choose to buy. Make sure it is a handle that you could certainly operate. Then, the floor drain shut and ensure that the anti-scald device has already been preset before using the tub. If you plan on using jets, make sure to familiarize yourself with the operating instructions to judge which speed works best for your requirements. Producers may also advocate a maximum time of use. You have to drain the water once you've finished your bath, remove the drain determined by the kind of drain or turn the overflow knob. Pull on the tub handle and leave the tub.

Question 10

10) What types of financing are available in Georgia if insurance doesn't cover home modifications?

The American Elder Care Research Organization lists several other financial assistance paths to think about when looking for help to buy your walk-in tub. (1) The US Department of Agriculture helps low income and elderly residents of rural areas make house modifications to enable aging set up. The USA Rural Development program is also known as the Section 504 plan, the Very Low-Income Housing Repair program along with the RD 504 Loan Program. The adjustments can include a walk-in tub. There are geographic and age, income demands to participate. To learn more about the maximum numbers available, other limitations and the best way to apply, visit http://eligibility.sc.egov.usda.gov/eligibility/welcomeAction.do and click on your state after you click on the 'Contact Us' link. Following that, you can click in your county and also a record of service centers including phone numbers will pop up. (2) For a non-Medicaid state financial assistance program for the aged, you can check this list to determine whether there are any that contain home modifications. https://www.payingforseniorcare.com/home-modifications/state-assistance-programs.html (3) Rebuilding Together, a national non-profit that can potentially cancel the setup prices of a walk in bathtub, can be a good resource. Contact them at http://www.togetherwetransform.org/find-your-local-affiliate (4)There are other alternatives to consider. The IRS may decide that your house modification qualifies for tax deductions as a medical and dental expense. This really should not be confused with the Dependent Care Tax Credit, which is used for dependent care expenses incurred by a primary taxpayer to enable them to work instead of caring for their dependent. There are also qualifications to be able to maintain an individual who requires care as a dependent. Phone the IRS to see when you can deduct the price of installing your walk-in bath. IRS Publication 502 is a good resource that can allow you to judge whether changing your bathroom qualifies you to deduct it as a medical expense. You can also call them at (800) 829-1040.

Question 11

11) Are there any kits available for installing my own walk-in tub?

Yes, makers do offer do-it-yourself installments of a bathroom conversion kit. Depending on whether you have the best tools and technical acquaintance with the instruments, it is potential. Nevertheless, lots of times, someone thinks it is definitely going to be inexpensive to purchase all the tools that are proper. These tools could be expensive, so be sure you compare the price of purchasing all the tools and the expense of your time learning just how to install the kit with all the expense of a professional setup. Then the instructions may seem pretty simple if you are someone who does a great deal of home improvements. Just make certain they test the unit according to the manufacturer's directions and the unit you purchased didn't get harmed during transport.

Question 12

12) Can I choose the color / style to match my interior decoration?

Yes. Check with the manufacturers about Georgia options. Colors that are uniform with the majority of toilets are only offered by some. Selecting the right walk-in bathtub for you means discussing the number of layouts, sizes and styles to make sure it satisfies your own special needs and room requirements. You may need to pay an added fee for a custom color since most producers make baths in white and cream.
