As our lifestyles change, so do our requirements for comfortable living. The same goes for our loved ones that we live with or care for. Adapting to new surroundings, whether it be due to age or other varying physical limitations and capabilities, can be difficult. However, you can have peace of mind knowing that McHales Kitchen and Bath can help to ease the transition. An aging in place installation done by us will help you make sure that your home and surroundings adapt to your needs – and not the other way around! 

What is Aging in Place?

We spend a good amount of time in our bathroom. Showering, brushing out teeth, getting ready for the day – a large portion of our daily routines are spent in these rooms! With an aging in place bathroom, you get design, function, and ease all in one. Intelligent designs that have the latest innovations to suit your unique needs are put into place. This allows you to stay comfortable while maintaining a stylish design. 

Benefits of Aging in Place 

• Great for limited mobility. A lot of aging in place systems feature a walk-in tub and shower. With these tubs, you can literally walk right in and sit down. They eliminate the need for stepping over the rim and decrease the likelihood of a dangerous slip or fall. Bathing is kept as simple as possible, and you’ll be more comfortable with the additional safety of a walk in tub. 
• Hydrotherapy. Did you know that water can help ease pain? Hydrotherapy is essentially a therapeutic treatment that uses water and jet systems. Most walk – in tubs have some sort of jet feature to help treat any pain or discomfort that you and your loved ones may be experiencing. Sit back, relax, and let the hydrotherapy soak away your aches! 
• Hygiene. When bathing becomes a difficult task, personal hygiene can suffer. A walk in tub will help you and your loved ones maintain clean comfort with dignity.
• Most importantly, enjoy your home for as long as you want. When our capabilities change, many people may wonder if they will be able to continue living comfortably in their homes. Here at McHales, we think you should be able to live at home as long as you please! As your mobility changes, your house can be altered to adjust. It doesn’t have to be the other way around if you don’t want it to be!
