I saw this ad in a magazine which says they can cut an opening into your bathtub to make it more accessible. It offers an alternative for some who may need this.
Here's a good video aimed at helping seniors get organized for safety.

Thanks for the picture. Seniors do need help in the bathroom.
It is a constant state of awareness for me to avoid falling. Been there and done that too many times! So I appreciate all suggestions on this topic. Many thanks for sharing.
I think the one you showed is for baths with showers in situ - lower front so the person can walk in instead of trying to lift their leg right over the top of the bath. Well before we came to Australia (early 70s) there was a company in England that sold baths with a door in the front. How strange I used to think - now I realise how wise they were (and still are). Not sure if this company can do the renovations like the one you showed but crikey look at what they can supply to you lol (I am in no way connected with this company) http://www.practicalbathing.co.uk/walk-in-baths-range Cathy

Good idea. Although I'm getting rather senior, I can still manage alone! Valerie
Whatever helps keep seniors safe, I'm all for it!
I've seen some special bathtubs already made for something like that. I can see why they would need one.
It doesn't look like the tub would hold enough water for a good soak, but it would probably work for a quick bath :-)
My gram had one similar but it was a special shower tub thing. Even lower than that but once she got in, there was a seating area.
This is actually a really good and inventive idea!
What a neat idea. Falling can be so hazardous.

I am wondering what we should do with my mom's bathroom. We need something that is more senior friendly soon.
thanks for the link Cathy, interesting options.
