Raise your New York home's resale value, and make daily life much easier for anyone with mobility or balance issues.

Question 1

1) Will a tub like this add to my Syracuse home’s resale value?

If you live in a Syracuse retirement community, installing a walk-in bath may increase the value of your own home. Otherwise, it probably will not increase the value of your house. Since changes to your toilet don't generally raise the value of your home, the price may be eligible for the medical expense deduction for tax purposes both federally and in New York if the primary intention of the improvements is to accommodate a dwelling to the handicap of the taxpayer, their partner or dependent living there.

Question 2

2) Can the shower be used still with a walk-in bathtub?

Yes. There are walk-in tub installments that give you a big standing place for standup showers. You can either shower sitting down or standing up. Be sure to get the correct dimensions for the walk-in bathtub so you don't feel cramped during a stand-up shower. Also, in case you want to maintain your standing shower because if your faucet isn't directly against a wall, it is significantly more difficult to tap into your existing shower, another thing to keep in mind is always to ask about the faucet place.

Question 3

3) How much do walk-in bathtubs cost in Syracuse?

A walk in tub in Syracuse typically ranges in price from $1,700 to over $30,000. The price depends upon whether you have it installed by our New York team, what features you select, along with the caliber of the goods. The cost also changes depending on whether you pick acrylic or fiberglass bathtubs. Everybody differs and making sure that a walk in tub works for somebody 's unique situation is very essential since it is typically replacing a washing or bathtub assembly that isn't fulfilling their needs. A great walk-in tub runs between $3,000 and $8,000 installed. Some suppliers offer monthly payments or a cash bonus.

Question 4

4) Do these tubs use more water than conventional tubs?

Yes. A walk in bathtub is normally taller than an average bath tub, which includes about 2 1/2 feet of water on average. Some makers say if a standard shower is 7 minutes that you use the exact same amount of water as a shower that is standard and also you use 7 gallons of water a minute. Most of the walk-in baths on the market have a 40-80 gallon capacity. Actually, many manufacturers advise that you have a hot water tank that holds at least 50 gallons, though some bathtubs will operate efficiently if you fill them with 40-60 gallons.

Question 5

5) Is there any additional structural support needed before installation?

Many walk in bathtubs are mounted to a stainless steel welded support frame with leveling feet that is included with your bath that was bought. The flooring in the bathroom has to have a structural support strength that transcends the weight of the tub plus the weight of the water. Our Syracuse installer will check to determine when it is not whether the floor is level and otherwise, then they are going to make use of the leveling legs to correct the degree of the tub. Of course, the previous tub will need to be eliminated. Also, the if replacing, the wall or tile in the region will have to be removed.

Question 6

6) Will AETNA cover the cost of equipment and installation in New York?

Aetna does not cover walk-in tubs under their plans that are traditional in New York. Aetna does not insure walk in bathtubs under their HMO and health network plans either. They generally follow Medicare's criteria for durable medical equipment (DME) items used in the bathroom. In case the member is bed- room or confined - some DMEs are considered medically necessary, rather than a public toilet. DMEs are considered medically necessary if it's vital for day-to-day activities and is primarily medical in nature. Since bathing considered vital and is considered a daily living activity, Aetna lists toilet items which are unable to transfer to and from a tub or considered necessary if a member is not able to bathe or shower without being seated.

Question 7

7) Can I make one of these myself?

Yes, but most people do not start from scratch, they begin with a tub conversion kit. There are instructions available on the best way to convert your existing bathtub into a walk in bath. We advise that you just understand how exactly to make use of the right tools in order that you just do not end up with a non-working tub. There are businesses that understand the way to turn your home along with your disability that is bath more reachable for less of an investment than other options. As New York installers, we understand the way to direct you in the right direction, so please ask us for a consultation so we are able to assist you in making your home fulfill your current wants, particularly if you have recently become disabled or are providing an elderly person care-giving in their own house or your residence.

Question 8

8) Will Medicare cover the cost of equipment and installation in New York?

Medicare does not cover walk in bathtub gear and installation costs in New York, for the reason that they're dwelling modifications, not durable medical equipment. Durable medical equipment doesn't contain physical changes to a house, just medical equipment and supplies that are used to help a patient in and out of bed or a chair, or use a shower or bath safer and simpler. Consumer Affairs suggests that you may want to contact Medicare to see if (for freedom safety reasons) a walk in bath is justified to determine if the equipment can be partly compensated. More times than not, it won't be covered by them. But if you're eligible for Medicaid, the system in your state may give you some financial assistance for a walk in bathtub. You may qualify for a House and Community Based Service (HCBS) waiver to play for specific specialized medical equipment and availability modifications. If you're a recipient of Medicaid and Medicare, it's also advisable to consider the Dual-Eligible Specific Needs Plan. This strategy is a portion of the Medicare Advantage plan for dual eligibles. Medicaid provides a whole record of waivers applicable to the elderly that we suggest that you review. Also, contact your Syracuse or New York Area Agency on Aging (AAA) to explore Medicaid Waivers and financial choices for long term care.

Question 9

9) Will the cost of installation and equipment be covered by my disability in New York?

In case your impairment was due to a work or vehicle accident, check with the right insurance insurance company to see if house adjustments resulting from your NY impairment are insured. Claims that contain Syracuse house adjustments are not inadmissible in insurance resolutions. A person have a medical condition that meets their definition of disability and qualifies for Social Security disability benefits when they've worked in work that was insured by Social Security. Benefits may be insured in case you are injured or on impairment. Since SSI is a needs-based plan and an SSI recipient must have limited income and resources, qualification for the Plan for Achieving Self-Support (PASS) allows a person who has a disability to attain an occupational goal. The cash that is set aside under a PASS could be used for anything that results in an occupational objective and can be used to cover house alterations through an SSI savings strategy. If you are a veteran, the Department of Veterans' Affairs does offer individual programs that will enable you to deflect some of the cost. You can also request if you are eligible for the which is modeled after Medicaid's Consumer Directed HCBS, or the VA Aid and Attendance, Housebound and other Pensions. Contact the VA and ask for VA form 26-4555 to apply for a SAH or SHA grant. For information on all VA benefits in New York call 1-800-827-1000.

Question 10

10) What are some of the benefits of getting one?

The main benefit is the fact that it facilitates your mind if you have mobility issues, because depending on your own circumstance, you have trouble getting into the bath without a low step threshold or can slip on a regular bath. By making washing easier, the plan of a walk-in bath can also make it far more suitable for people who you depend on in your own life and assist you to live more independently. Aside from the benefits of availability and security, living independently in Syracuse is a real concern for people suffering from freedom problems. Other advantages include enhanced relaxation given all the features which are available to you personally. It alleviates the distress connected with common ailments.

Question 11

11) What sort of guarantees are there that these tubs won’t leak and damage my Syracuse house?

Consumer Affairs advocates that an owner that is initial buy a lifetime warranty to give buyers peace of mind about escapes. Additionally, ask if the lifetime warranty is extended to other owners as well. For a set number of years, this will probably be contained for New York house setups.

Question 12

12) How do walk in bathtubs work?

When you go into the walk-in bathtub, by pulling the handle toward you, you shut the door and seal it. Make sure that the handle is locked in order to avoid any water loss. There are various kinds of handles determined by the version you choose to purchase. Make certain it's a handle you could quickly operate. Then, you close the floor drain and ensure that the anti-scald device has already been preset before utilizing the bath. Once the bathtub fills to the desired depth, your bath is prepared. Be sure to get familiar with the operating instructions to gauge which speed works best for your needs if you're planning on using jets.
