Our Yonkers team is recovering freedom one bathroom at a time and safety by installing new and safer equipment in homes all across New York.

Question 1

1) Is there a way to get Jacuzzi jets in my tub?

Yes. Be cautious of the quantity of atmosphere and water that comes out of the jets to make sure it is the proper number that will soothe aches and your sore muscles with a massage sensation. Jets could be placed to target specific areas to provide for the most effective effects. Many Yonkers customers take pleasure in the therapeutic effect of having jets installed in their walk in bath for a wide array of medical conditions that gain from the additional relaxation.

Question 2

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

If your handicap was due to a car or work accident, check with the correct insurance insurance company to determine if house adjustments resulting from your NY impairment are insured. Claims that include Yonkers house modifications are not inadmissible in insurance settlements. Someone have a health condition that meets their definition of handicap and qualifies for Social Security disability benefits when they have worked in a job that was insured by Social Security. Benefits could be covered in the event you're injured or on disability. Since SSI is a needs-based plan plus an SSI recipient must have limited income and resources, eligibility for the Plan for Achieving Self-Support (PASS) allows a person who has a disability to achieve an occupational objective. The money that is set aside under a PASS could be used for anything that contributes to an occupational objective and may be utilized to cover house adjustments through an SSI savings strategy. If you are a veteran, the Department of Veterans' Affairs does offer individual plans that may help you deflect some of the price. You can even ask in the event you qualify 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 make an application for a SAH or SHA grant. For information on all VA benefits in New York call 1 800 827 1000.

Question 3

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

A walk-in tub in Yonkers commonly ranges in price from $1,700 to over $30,000. The cost also varies depending on whether you select acrylic or fiberglass tubs. Everyone is different and ensuring that a walk-in tub works for someone 's unique situation is quite essential because it's usually replacing a washing or bathtub assembly that isn't meeting their needs. A great walk-in tub runs between $3,000 and $8,000 installed. Some suppliers offer a cash bonus or monthly payments.

Question 4

4) How do walk-in tubs drain?

Some systems apply a gravity simply drainage system, while other makers offer power-assisted drainage systems. Ordinarily, the drainage system in a walk-in bath is attached to the normal bathtub drain, which is threaded into a flat pipe called a waste shoe. The shoe is sealed with a foam washer or putty under its flange. Comparing double drain choices to accelerated drain choices is significant when considering that most walk-in bathtubs take between 2 and 3 minutes to drain which demands that the temperature in the room be comfortable while they wait. Some characteristics may cost you more, therefore it's almost always advisable to ask. Eventually, get to be aware of the difference between frameless baths and framed baths since frameless tubs tend to drain faster than framed baths, because they do not alter the drain height of your existing bath. Framed tubs are constructed on a steel framework as well as the bottom of the bath is suspended off the ground. Frameless tubs are designed with an extra-strength form that does not require a steel framework and the underside of the bath is not hung in the air.

Question 5

5) Will a tub like this look bad for my homeowner’s insurance in New York?

Check with your Yonkers homeowner's insurance to make sure it'll cover you against this kind of damage. You may need a house adjustment permit from the Yonkers, NY building department to set up a bath, especially if walls have to be eliminated to match your bathroom plans. Above all, in the event you needed a permit and you didn't get one AND somehow your house suffers from damage from the installed walkin bathtub, your homeowner's insurance may not cover your losses. If you're planning on selling your Yonkers residence, there are plenty of buyer beware messages out there that will steer prospective buyers from your home since it does influence homeowner's insurance, if there have been any developments without licenses. Buyers see their homeowners insurance as well as the permits as protections on their investments in houses.

Question 6

6) Are there any kits available for installing my own walk-in tub?

Yes, producers do offer do-it-yourself installations of a bathroom conversion kit. Depending on whether you have the best tools and technical acquaintance with the instruments, it is possible. Yet, many times, someone thinks it is going to be affordable to buy all the tools that are proper. These tools could be expensive, so ensure you compare the expense of buying all the tools as well as the price of your time learning how exactly to install the kit with the cost of a professional setup. Then the directions might seem fairly easy in the event you are someone who does a lot of home improvements. Just make certain they analyze the unit in line with the directions of the manufacturer's and the unit you purchased didn't get harmed during transportation.

Question 7

7) About how long does the installation process take with your Yonkers installers?

Once the bathtub arrives, an installment needs between one and three days of labor in Yonkers. It surely depends upon the scope of the job. You should make us know whether there's a crucial deadline involving a family member coming for a visit or a loved one's release from New York rehabilitation so that we can do the best we can to accommodate you.

Question 8

8) About how much will one of these tubs cost to get installed?

The installation can cost you about $1,500-$3,000 to be installed in Yonkers. Sometimes the expense of the unit along with the setup is a better investment than paying for a caretaker.

Question 9

9) What types of financing are available in New York if insurance doesn't cover home modifications?

The American Elder Care Research Organization lists several other financial assistance paths to think about when looking for help to purchase your walk in bath. (1) The US Department of Agriculture helps low income and elderly residents of rural areas make house modifications to enable aging in position. The USA Rural Development plan is also known as the Section 504 program, the Very Low-Income Housing Repair program and the RD 504 Loan Program. The modifications may include a walk in tub. There are geographic and age, income demands to participate.

Question 10

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

Medicare doesn't cover walk-in tub gear and installation costs in New York, for the reason that they're home modifications, not durable medical equipment. Durable medical equipment will not contain physical changes to a home, simply medical gear and materials that are used to help a patient in and out of bed or a seat, or use a shower or tub simpler and safer. Consumer Affairs indicates that you might want to contact Medicare to see if (for mobility security reasons) a walk-in bath is justified to determine if the equipment may be somewhat compensated. More times than not, they will not cover it. However, if you are eligible for Medicaid, your state's program may provide you with some financial assistance for a walk in bath. You may be eligible for a Home and Community Based Service (HCBS) waiver to play for certain specialized medical equipment and availability adjustments. If you're a receiver of Medicare and Medicaid, it's also advisable to think about the Dual-Eligible Special Needs Plan. This strategy is part of the Medicare Advantage plan for dual eligibles. Medicaid offers a complete record of waivers applicable to the elderly that we recommend that you review. Additionally, contact your Yonkers or New York Area Agency on Aging (AAA) to investigate Medicaid Waivers and financial options for long term care.

Question 11

11) Can I choose the color / style to match my interior decoration?

Yes. Walk-in tubs can be personalized to your taste. Check with the makers about New York alternatives. Some only offer colors that are uniform with most bathrooms. Choosing the right walk-in tub for you means discussing the selection of sizes, styles and layouts to make sure it suits your own special needs and room conditions. You may have to pay an added fee for a custom shade since most producers make baths in cream and white.

Question 12

12) Are these tubs as easy to clean as normal tubs?

They are not difficult to clean, but unlike routine tubs, it is recommended to maintain a day-to-day cleaning habit with a walk-in bathtub utilizing the products that are right and following manufacturer's recommendations. You wish to really make sure with a walk-in bath that you remove spots and scum to defend the surface. Depending on whether you have well water, soft water, or hard water, you will see different types of spots and deposits on your own bath. Get into the practice of wiping down the surfaces that are wet after each use to help avoid the build up scum, that will necessitate more scrubbing afterwards. Weekly, use cleaners to wash your walkin bathtub. Products that address your special water blot and deposits ought to be considered in addition to any signs that these products may destroy the finish on your own bath. You need to get familiar with the most effective cleaning techniques for your kind of tub since tubs are generally either fiberglass or acrylic. Fiberglass is porous and fragile and can readily dull and stain. Do not use harsh abrasive products on fiberglass. Acrylic is nonporous and simple to wash. Additionally, if the current weather allows, air the room out in order that it does not remain humid. Some manufacturers advise that you open your bathroom window for an hour every single day to let moisture escape.
