What are the reasons to own a walk-in tub for seniors with dementia-related bathing fears?

A low-entry tub, comfortable seat and handheld shower may make assisted bathing easier, but a walk-in tub is not automatically the best choice for dementia-related bathing fears. Noise, unfamiliar controls and waiting for the water to drain may be distressing for some people. Discuss the person's routine, supervision and transfer needs with their care team before buying. Ask the installer to explain the bathing process clearly.
