Who are walk-in bathtubs designed for?

Walk-in bathtubs are primarily designed for people who prefer seated bathing or find a conventional high-sided bath difficult to enter. Low thresholds, seats and grab bars can help with access, but the user still needs a safe way to step or transfer into the tub. Wheelchair users may need a purpose-designed transfer model. Check suitability with the intended user and allow for assistance where needed. Comfort features can also appeal to people without mobility limitations.
