The family decision checklist

Twenty-four steps from "something seems off" to "Mom used the new tub this morning." Check them off as you go; your progress is saved on this device. Print it to share with siblings or bring it to the doctor.

Direct answer: Before buying a walk-in tub for a parent, a family should document what they have seen, talk with the parent and agree among siblings, get an occupational therapist's view, choose between a tub and a shower, compare at least two written itemized quotes, agree on how to pay, and plan who will be there on installation day.

About this checklist

What should a family decide before buying a walk-in tub?

Whether your parent wants one, whether a tub or a shower fits how they move, who is paying and how the cost is split, which written quote to accept, and who will be at the house on installation day. The checklist on this page puts those decisions in order.

Does this checklist save my progress?

Yes, on the device and browser you are using. Your checkmarks are stored only in your own browser, not sent to us. To share progress with siblings, print the page or save it as a PDF.

Talk it through with a specialist

Aging Safely Baths has supplied and installed walk-in tubs and roll-in showers since 2011, and has been BBB accredited since 2012. Families call us before anyone in the house has agreed to anything, and that is fine.

  • We can talk with you, your parent, or both of you on the same call.
  • Out-of-town family can get a written, itemized quote from photos, with no in-home sales visit.
  • We will tell you when a roll-in shower or a few grab bars would serve your parent better than a tub.
  • Ask about veteran and senior discounts and current installation promotions.
