Our Palm Bay team of installers is ready to make the day-to-day task of cleaning yourself fun and easy again, with new gear that virtually eliminates skids and falls in then toilet.

Question 1

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

Yes. Walk in baths can be personalized to your preference. Check with the producers about Florida alternatives. Colours that are uniform with most bathrooms are only offered by some. Choosing the right walk-in tub for you means discussing the number of layouts, sizes and styles to make sure it satisfies your own special needs and room requirements. Since most manufacturers make bathtubs in cream and white, you might have to pay an additional fee for a custom colour.

Question 2

2) Do these tubs drain normally?

Yes. Occasionally, however, it is necessary to change the plumbing determined by the place of the drains. Installers may need to add a fitting to the existing wastewater pipe for a walk in bath. Present pipes may allow for slower drain times or quicker drain times.

Question 3

3) Will AARP cover the cost of equipment and installation?

AARP is not a supplier of insurance, but contracts with insurers to make coverage available to AARP members. AARP doesn't make people health plan recommendations and doesn't cover the price of walk-in bathtubs or some health needs. AARP does provide accessibility to health care tools and coverage like other health plans and Medicare Supplement Insurance to members as a resource, but third parties provide member benefits. Check with the plans which are listed in Florida under AARP's membership services.

Question 4

4) Will a tub like this add to my Palm Bay home’s resale value?

Should you reside in a Palm Bay retirement community, installing a walk-in bathroom may raise the value of your own home. It probably will not raise the value of your house. Since changes to your bathroom don't usually raise the value of your house, cost may qualify for the medical expense deduction for tax purposes both federally and in Florida if the primary objective of the improvements would be to accommodate a residence to the impairment of the citizen, their spouse or dependent living there.

Question 5

5) Will AETNA cover the cost of equipment and installation in Florida?

Aetna does not cover walk in tubs under their plans that are traditional in Florida. They normally follow Medicare's standards for durable medical equipment (DME) items used in the bathroom. In case the member is bed- confined or room - some DMEs are considered necessary, as opposed to a public toilet. DMEs are considered medically necessary if it is vital for daily activities and is primarily medical in nature. Since bathing is considered a daily living activity and considered vital, toilet items that are considered medically necessary if a member is unable to bathe or shower without being seated or incapable to transfer to and from a bathtub are listed by Aetna.

Question 6

6) How do walk-in tubs drain?

Some systems apply a gravity simply drainage system, while other manufacturers offer power-assisted drainage systems. Generally, the drainage system in a walk-in bathtub is attached to the standard bath drain, which is threaded into a flat pipe called a waste shoe. The shoe is sealed using putty or a foam washer under its flange. The huge difference is that makers have tried to reduce the waiting time since sitting there waiting for the water can leave a bather feeling cooled since a bather cannot leave the tub until all of the water is drained. Some features may cost you more, therefore it's almost always wise to ask. Finally, get to know the difference between frameless tubs and framed baths since frameless baths often empty faster than framed tubs, because they don't alter the drain height of your existing tub. Framed baths are built on a steel framework and also the bottom of the bathtub is hung off the floor. Frameless baths are designed with an extra-strength mold that does not require a steel framework and the bottom of the bath is not suspended in the air.

Question 7

7) Will Medicare cover the cost of equipment and installation in Florida?

Medicare doesn't cover walk-in tub gear and installation prices in Florida, because they are home adjustments, not durable medical equipment. Durable medical equipment doesn't include physical changes to a home, just medical gear and materials which are accustomed to help a patient in and out of a chair or bed, or make use of a shower or bath simpler and safer. Consumer Affairs indicates that you might wish to contact Medicare to see if (for mobility safety reasons) a walk in tub is warranted to ascertain if the equipment can be partly compensated. More often than not, they will not cover it. However, if you are eligible for Medicaid, your state's program may offer you some financial assistance for a walk in tub. You may qualify for a Home and Community Based Service (HCBS) waiver to play for particular specialized medical equipment and availability modifications. If you are a receiver of Medicare and Medicaid, you also had better think about the Double-Eligible Special Needs Plan. Medicaid provides an entire listing of waivers relevant to the elderly that we suggest that you review.

Question 8

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

The setup can really cost you around $1,500-$3,000 to be installed in Palm Bay. Occasionally the cost of the installation along with the unit is a better investment than paying for a caretaker.

Question 9

9) How much do walk-in bathtubs cost in Palm Bay?

A walk in bathtub in Palm Bay commonly ranges in price from $1,700 to over $30,000. The cost is dependent upon whether you have it installed by our Florida team, what characteristics you pick, and the caliber of the goods. The cost also varies depending on whether you select acrylic or fiberglass bathtubs. Everybody differs and ensuring that a walk-in bath works for somebody 's unique position is very essential because it's generally replacing a bathtub or bath assembly that isn't satisfying their needs. A superb walk-in tub runs between $3,000 and $8,000 installed. Some providers provide monthly payments or a cash bonus.

Question 10

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

Yes. There are walkin bathtub installations that offer you a big standing area for standup showers. You can either shower sitting down or standing up. Ensure you get the appropriate measurements for the walk-in bathtub in order that you do not 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 is much more difficult to tap into your existing shower, another thing to keep in mind is always to ask about the faucet location.

Question 11

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

The American Elder Care Research Organization lists several other financial assistance avenues to consider when looking for assistance to buy your walkin bath. The USA Rural Development program is also called the Section 504 program, the Very Low-Income Housing Repair program along with the RD 504 Loan Program. The adjustments can include a walk in tub. There are geographical and age, income demands to participate. Following that, you can click on your own county along with a listing of service centers including phone numbers will pop up.

Contact them at http://www.togetherwetransform.org/find-your-local-affiliate (4)There are other alternatives to consider. The IRS may determine that your home modification qualifies for tax deductions as a medical and dental expense. This shouldn't 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 rather than caring for their dependent. There are also qualifications to be able to assert an individual who needs attention as a dependent. Call the IRS to see in the event you can deduct the price of installing your walk in tub. IRS Publication 502 is an excellent resource that can enable you to estimate whether altering your toilet qualifies you to deduct it as a medical expense. You can also phone them at (800) 829-1040.

Question 12

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

Yes, producers do offer do it yourself installations of a bathroom conversion kit. Depending on whether you possess the proper tools and specialized familiarity with the instruments, it's potential. Nevertheless, many times, someone believes it's definitely going to be affordable to purchase all the appropriate tools. These tools may be expensive, so make sure you compare the price of purchasing each of the tools as well as the cost of your time learning the best way to install the kit together with the cost of a professional installation. In case you are someone who does a large amount of home improvements, then the directions might seem pretty simple. If not, you might want to save yourself the trouble and expense by investing in Palm Bay professionals who'll install it correctly. Simply make sure the unit is tested by them in line with the manufacturer's instructions and that the unit you purchased did not get harmed during transport.
