Walk in showers can be a boon, helping the disabled shower in comfort and dignity. Because they are built with the floor of the shower level with the floor of the bathroom there is no raised edge to clamber over, which reduces the risk of slipping and tripping. Wide doors are also often installed in walk in showers, which can either enable a carer to assist someone into the shower, or give room for wheelchair entrance as well. The larger space also leaves more room for showering comfortably.
Walk in showers can also have an installed shower seat, which makes the showering experience considerably easier and more comfortable for people who find it difficult to stand for a long time, and to move about easily. If you have the money, some new shower seats are even padded, which can make for a much more comfortable shower!
