Walk-in tubs allow Boomers to age in place

With many Baby Boomers getting older, walk-in tubs are one home improvement that will make it easier to grow older comfortably in the home they've known for years. But walk-in tubs are not just for the elderly. For those with limited mobility, a walk-in tub can offer increased safety, comfort and even therapeutic benefits, such as hydrotherapy or aromatherapy.

These photos show a walk in tub that has been installed in a small bathroom. A walk-in tub can have similar benefits to a hot tub, only without the chemicals, pumps, or maintenance.
