Most people associate Alzheimer’s disease with memory loss, yet this chronic neurodegenerative disease causes multiple symptoms that affect a person’s whole body. More than 500,000 Canadians live with Alzheimer’s disease, and every September, people across the country raise awareness about their experience for Alzheimer’s Awareness Month.

Many dementia symptoms can impact our mobility, as Alzheimer’s disease affects someone’s balance, vision, and ability to discern distances between objects. For a person living with Alzheimer’s disease, transforming their existing bathtub into an accessible walk-in bathtub can enhance their quality of life.

Did you know that more than 6 million Canadians live with arthritis? It’s Arthritis Awareness Month, and today, let’s talk about the connection between bathroom safety and this serious inflammatory disease.

Arthritis causes a person’s joints to be inflexible and stiff, so they typically have limited mobility while navigating spaces. Moving becomes difficult and painful, so it’s more challenging and sometimes impossible for a person with arthritis to safely enter and exit their bathtub for a shower. Yet when a customer with arthritis converts their bathtub into an accessible walk-in tub, it’s life-changing. They often continue bathing independently with less discomfort.
