How do walk-in tubs with built-in seating support seniors with hip replacement recovery?

A built-in seat can support seated bathing, but after hip replacement the surgeon's instructions about immersion, wound healing and hip movement come first. Do not assume a walk-in tub is safe immediately after surgery. Have seat height and transfers assessed by the care team before purchase or use. The tub can be a practical bathing feature once appropriate, but it is not a way to accelerate healing.
