Walk-In Tub Features for Veterans

Settling back into civilian life can involve plenty of adjustments for veterans. For some, that means getting used to new accessibility needs as part of their day-to-day routines. 

We’re proud to offer walk-in tubs that can help veterans maintain independence and enjoy soothing hydrotherapy at home. Read on to learn about how the features of the KOHLER_® Walk-In Bath benefit veterans. 

Safety Features

Accessibility is an important part of walk-in tubs, but that term can be hard to define. Focusing on our safety features can make it easier to understand how our walk-in tubs are built around accessibility. 

Extra-Wide Door

A wider-than-average door can help in more ways than you think. Door width can determine how well someone with limited mobility can transfer to the bath seat. It can also provide precious extra space for a person to navigate in or out, which can be crucial for those with limited mobility. Our walk-in tub doors swing in rather than out to make opening and closing while seated inside the bath easier. 

Low Step-In

The walk-in tub’s low step-in brings accessibility right to the edge of the tub. Our step-in is among the lowest on the market at only 3 inches high. Getting in and out of the tub is simpler for those with limited mobility or who rely on prosthetics. Easy access helps make your bath a relaxing experience from beginning to end. 

Grab Bars

Providing plenty of stabilizing factors means having a bath or shower with peace of mind. Your time in the walk-in tub should be a relaxing space, and features like grab bars and handrails help accomplish that. 

Hydrotherapy Features

For many veterans, a course of physical or water-based therapies can work wonders on injuries sustained in the line of duty. With a Walk-In Bath, hydrotherapy can be done safely—all in the comfort and privacy of your own home. 

Massage Jets

These are useful for therapeutic purposes but also as a stress-relieving tool at the end of a long day or to get in a good headspace at the start of one. Massage jets create a spa-like atmosphere right in your own home, capable of soothing pain or soreness in the muscles gently yet effectively. For veterans, these can be a lifesaver.

Heated Backrest

The little things can make a big difference in the long run. A heated backrest can release muscle tension in the back and neck, which can be a wonderful wind-down after a day of physical therapy. 

Convenience Features

Easy-reach features are key to enjoying a relaxing bath or shower experience. With ergonomics in mind, the KOHLER® Walk-In Bath offers every needed feature within reach, ensuring minimal straining or discomfort while bathing. 

Control Panel

Vets seeking a little relaxation at the end of the day can enjoy altering tub settings at any time with the press of a button on the Walk-In Bath’s control panel, designed for easy reach. This makes it simple for those with limited mobility or pain conditions to change or customize their jet and heat settings on a whim. 

Handheld Shower Sprayer

Lightweight, easy to use and capable of reaching even that hard-to-reach spot on your back, the handheld shower sprayer is ideal even for vets who may not have full range of motion. 

Center Comfort and Accessibility in Your Home

By creating a bathroom that’s peaceful and accessible, veterans can enjoy plenty of moments of relaxation at the start or end of the day. We’re proud to offer a Walk-In Bath that is designed with accessibility at every part of the bath experience.
