Finally stop worrying about day-to-day bathing again, and recover more freedom and autonomy in your daily life in Detroit.

Question 1

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

Should you reside in a Detroit retirement community, installing a walk-in bath may raise the value of your house. It likely will not increase the value of your house. Since modifications to your toilet do not generally increase the value of your house, price may be eligible for the medical expense deduction for tax purposes both federally and in Michigan if the main goal of the enhancements would be to accommodate a dwelling to the disability of the citizen, their partner or dependent living there.

Question 2

2) How do walk-in tubs drain?

Some systems employ a gravity just drainage system, while other manufacturers offer power-assisted drainage systems. Typically, the drainage system in a walk in bathtub is attached to the standard tub drain, which is threaded into a horizontal conduit called a waste shoe. The shoe is sealed under its flange with a foam washer or putty. Some attributes may cost you more, therefore it's almost always a good idea to ask. Eventually, get to be aware of the difference between frameless tubs and framed tubs since frameless tubs tend to empty quicker than framed tubs, because they don't alter the drain height of your existing bath. Framed baths are constructed on a steel framework and also the base of the bathtub is hung off the ground. Frameless baths are made with an extra-strength mold that really doesn't demand a steel frame and the bottom of the bathtub is not hung in the air.

Question 3

3) Will a tub like this look bad for my homeowner’s insurance in Michigan?

Many upgraded homeowner's insurance policies protect against flooding from your pipes and appliances. Check with your Detroit homeowner's insurance to make sure it's going to cover you against this sort of damage. You may need a home alteration permit from the Detroit, MI building department to put in a tub, particularly if walls need to be eliminated to fit your bathroom plans. Most of all, in case you needed a license and you didn't get one AND your home suffers from damage from the installed walk-in tub, your homeowner's insurance may not cover your losses. If you plan on ever selling your Detroit home, there are lots of buyer beware messages out there that will direct potential buyers from your house since it does influence homeowner's insurance, if there have been any developments without permits. Buyers see their homeowners insurance as well as the licenses as protections on their investments in houses.

Question 4

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

Consumer Affairs recommends that an owner that is original buy a lifetime guarantee to give buyers peace of mind about flows. Also, ask if the lifetime warranty is extended to other owners too. For a set number of years, this will be included for Michigan home installments.

Question 5

5) How much do walk-in bathtubs cost in Detroit?

A walk in bathtub in Detroit commonly ranges in price from $1,700 to over $30,000. The price also changes depending on whether you pick acrylic or fiberglass tubs. Everybody differs and making sure that a walk-in bath works for somebody 's unique position is extremely essential because it's generally replacing a bathtub or bath assembly that isn't meeting their needs. A good walk in bath runs between $8, $3,000 000 installed. Some suppliers offer a cash bonus or monthly obligations.

Question 6

6) Will Medicare cover the cost of equipment and installation in Michigan?

Medicare will not cover walk in bathtub gear and installation prices in Michigan, because they're dwelling adjustments, not durable medical equipment. Durable medical equipment doesn't include physical changes to a home, just medical gear and supplies which are accustomed to help a patient in and out of bed or a seat, or use a shower or bath safer and easier. Consumer Affairs indicates that you might wish to contact Medicare to see if (for mobility safety reasons) a walk-in bathtub is justified to determine if the equipment could be somewhat compensated. More times than not, it won't be covered by them. However, if you're qualified for Medicaid, the program in your state may provide you with some financial assistance for a walk-in bathtub. You may be eligible for a House and Community Based Service (HCBS) waiver to play for certain specialized medical equipment and accessibility modifications. In case you are a recipient of Medicare and Medicaid, you also had better consider the Double-Eligible Special Needs Plan. This strategy is part of the Medicare Advantage plan for dual eligibles. The Special Needs Plan (SNP) or Medicaid may consider your eligibility if you can establish that a walk in bathtub is medically necessary, not merely a convenience, or as a prevention in the instance of a fall, along with a written prescription that explains the requirement for an individual to remain living in their residence. Medicaid offers a whole listing of waivers related to the elderly that we recommend that you review.

Question 7

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

Yes. Check with the producers about Michigan options. Colors which are uniform with the majority of bathrooms are only offered by some. Picking the right walk-in tub for you means discussing the number of styles, sizes and layouts to make sure it suits your own special needs and room conditions. You may need to pay an added fee for a custom color since most producers make tubs in cream and white.

Question 8

8) Is there a way to re-sell the tub once we are done with it?

You can re-sell or find used walk in tubs being sold online. Yet, lots of folks typically want to ensure that they're purchasing a walk in tub that personally fulfills their needs for the long-term. They're not as likely to choose a big risk by paying all of the costs associated with shipping and also the removal of their present tub without assurance and a little more investment in quality and the condition of their purchase. There isn't actually a huge marketplace for used plumbing fixtures. In case you're unsure how long you are definitely going to be at your Detroit dwelling and can not warrant a long-term care option of a leading walk-in bathtub installment, then there are easy measure retrofits that give you the ability to return the bathroom to an unmodified toilet to avoid turning potential buyers away who don't want to pay for an enormous removal. Eventually, if you do believe you might attempt to resell your walk in tub, the next buyer may want to understand if the lifetime guarantee is extended to other owners as well or if they are going to have to cover the costs connected with a door seal or alternative component damages that may occur with use.

Question 9

9) Will AETNA cover the cost of equipment and installation in Michigan?

Aetna doesn't cover walkin tubs under their plans that are conventional in Michigan. They normally follow Medicare's criteria for durable medical equipment (DME) items used in the bathroom. If the member is bed- confined or room - some DMEs are considered necessary, rather than a convenience. DMEs are considered medically necessary if it's needed for daily activities and is primarily medical in nature. Since bathing is considered a daily living activity and considered essential, Aetna lists toilet items which are incapable to transfer to and from a tub or considered necessary if a member is unable to bathe or shower without being seated.

Question 10

10) Do Walk-In Bathtubs Leak?

Yes, they could leak. Another common criticism from people who attempted to save cash and purchased a poor quality bath comes from door escapes. When purchasing a walk in bath, be sure you buy a lifetime warranty, because as soon as the door escapes, the bath can't be used by you, until the seal is fixed by you. Be sure that the walk in tub is stiff and strong to prevent any flex that inhibits a watertight door. Mishandling and also during transporting any damage that may have happened can loosen appointments and cause leakage. Before using the walk-in bath, it's important that the bathtub is tested by the installer correctly according to the instruction manual. The water may have problem emptying properly and might create the door to leak, in case the bath is not installed level together with the supporting features provided. Finally, be sure to understand the risks related to the positioning of your walk in bathtub, particularly alcoves, because they have specific conditions to avert leaking.

Question 11

11) Do these tubs drain normally?

Yes. Sometimes, however, it is necessary to modify the pipes depending on the place of the drains. Installers may have to add a fitting to the existing wastewater pipe for a walk-in tub. Existing pipes may allow for slower drain times or quicker drain times.

Question 12

12) Will the cost of installation and equipment be covered by my disability in Michigan?

If your impairment was a result of a car or work injury, check together with the correct insurance carrier to determine if house modifications resulting from your MI impairment are covered. Claims that comprise Detroit dwelling 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 a job that was covered by Social Security. Benefits may be covered, in case you're injured or on impairment. Since SSI is a needs-based program 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 money that's set aside under a PASS could be used for anything that results in an occupational goal and may be used to cover home adjustments through an SSI savings plan. You'll figure out more about PASS through your local Social Security Administration office or call toll free 800-772-1213. In case you are a veteran, the Department of Veterans' Affairs does offer individual plans that may enable you to deflect some of the price. There are Michigan home adjustment grants that are available that may provide you aid for the installation and purchase of a walk-in tub: (1) the Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) Grant; (2) the Special Dwelling Version (SHA) Grants; along with the Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) Grant. 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 Michigan call 1 800 827 1000.
