Question 1

1) What types of financing are available in Idaho if insurance doesn't cover home modifications?

The American Elder Care Research Organization lists several other financial assistance avenues to think about when searching for aid to purchase your walkin bath. (1) The US Department of Agriculture helps low income and elderly residents of rural areas make home modifications to empower aging in place. The USA Rural Development program is also referred to as the Section 504 plan, the Very Low-Income Housing Repair program along with the RD 504 Loan Program. The modifications may have a walk in bathtub. There are geographical and age, income requirements to participate. Then, you can click on your county and also a listing of service centers including phone numbers will pop up. (2) For a non-Medicaid state financial assistance system for the elderly, you can check this list to determine whether there are any that include home modifications. https://www.payingforseniorcare.com/home-modifications/state-assistance-programs.html (3) Rebuilding Together, a national non-profit that can perhaps offset the setup prices of a walk-in bathtub, can be a great resource. Contact them at http://www.togetherwetransform.org/find-your-local-affiliate (4)There are other choices to consider. The IRS may decide your home adjustment qualifies for tax deductions as a dental and medical expense. This shouldn't be confused with the Dependent Care Tax Credit, which is used for dependent care expenses incurred by a taxpayer that was primary to enable them to work rather than caring for their dependent. There are also qualifications in order to maintain an individual who needs attention as a dependent. Phone the Internal Revenue Service to find out in case you can deduct the cost of installing your walk-in bath. IRS Publication 502 is a great resource that can allow you to estimate whether modifying your toilet qualifies you to deduct it as a medical expense. You can also phone them at (800) 829-1040. (5) The National Resource Center on Supportive Housing and Home Modification may also help you locate help to pay for home modifications.

Question 2

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

The setup can really cost you about $1,500-$3,000 to be installed in Pocatello. Occasionally the expense of the unit and also the installment is a better investment than paying for a caretaker.

Question 3

3) Will AARP cover the cost of equipment and installation?

AARP isn't a supplier of insurance, but contracts with insurers to make coverage available to AARP members. AARP will not make health plan recommendations for individuals and doesn't cover the price of walk in bathtubs or some well-being needs. AARP does provide accessibility to medical care tools and coverage like Medicare Supplement Insurance and other health plans to members as a resource, but member benefits are given by third parties. Check with the plans that are recorded under the membership services of AARP in Idaho.

Question 4

4) Will Medicare cover the cost of equipment and installation in Idaho?

Medicare doesn't cover walk in tub equipment and installation prices in Idaho, because they are house modifications, not durable medical equipment. Durable medical equipment doesn't include physical changes to a house, simply medical gear and supplies which are used to help a patient in and out of bed or a seat, or use a shower or bathtub simpler and safer. Consumer Affairs indicates that you might want to contact Medicare to see if (for freedom security reasons) a walk in bathtub is warranted to determine whether the equipment may be partially compensated. More often than not, it won't be covered by them. However, if you're eligible for Medicaid, your state's program may offer you some financial assistance for a walk-in bath. You may qualify for a Home and Community Based Service (HCBS) waiver to play for specific specialized medical equipment and accessibility modifications. In case you are a recipient of Medicaid and Medicare, you should also think about the Dual-Eligible Special Needs Strategy. The Special Needs Plan (SNP) or Medicaid may consider your eligibility if you can show that a walk in tub is medically necessary, not only a convenience, or as a prevention in the case of a fall, together with a written prescription that describes the need for someone to stay dwelling in their own house. Medicaid offers a whole list of waivers related to the elderly that we suggest that you review.

Question 5

5) Can I convert my existing bathtub into a walk-in one?

Yes. There are instructions available on how to convert your existing bathtub into a walk in bath. We advise that you understand how exactly to use the tools that are appropriate in order that you just do not end up with a non-working bathtub. There are firms in Pocatello that understand how to turn your tub more disability along with your home reachable for less of an investment than other options. As installers, we understand how to direct you in the correct direction, so please ask us for a consultation so we are able to help you make your home fulfill your current needs, especially if you've recently become disabled or are providing an elderly person care-giving in their own home or your residence.

Question 6

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

Yes. A walk-in tub is generally taller than an average bath tub, which contains about 2 1/2 feet of water on average. Some manufacturers say if a standard shower is 7 minutes that you use the exact same amount of water as a standard shower and you use 7 gallons of water a minute. Many of the walk-in tubs available on the market have a 40-80 gallon capacity. In reality, many manufacturers recommend that you have a hot water tank that holds at least 50 gallons, though some bathtubs will work effectively if you fill them with 40-60 gallons.

Question 7

7) Do these tubs drain normally?

Yes. Occasionally, however, it is critical to change the pipes depending on the place of the drains. Installers may have to add a fitting to the present wastewater pipe for a walk in bathtub. Existing plumbing may allow for faster drain times or slower drain times.

Question 8

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

You can re-sell find or used walk in tubs being sold online. However, many folks usually wish to make sure that they are purchasing a walk in tub that personally meets with their needs for the long term. They are not as inclined to choose a big risk by paying all the costs related to transportation and also the removal of their present bath without a bit more investment and guarantee in the status and quality of their purchase. There isn't really a huge market for used plumbing fixtures. In the event you are not sure how long you are going to be at your Pocatello house and can not justify a long-term care alternative of a leading walk in bath setup, then there are easy step retrofits that give you the ability to return the bathroom to an unmodified bathroom to avoid turning potential buyers away who do not need to pay for a huge removal. Eventually, if you do think you might attempt to resell your walk in bathtub, the next buyer might want to understand if the lifetime guarantee is extended to other owners too or if they are going to have to cover the costs associated with a door seal or alternative part damages that will occur with use.

Question 9

9) How do I know these tubs will fully seal and not leak out all over the floor?

Appropriate installation and initial testing should give you a leakproof encounter, however there are events where they experienced leaks that customers report. Under proper circumstances, the door seal should compress making it completely leak proof. Some units include a second drain under the entry door to help prevent leaks if the door does leak. If this attribute is comprised, inquire. As it covers the door in the instance of a leak along with the seal, we highly advise that you get a lifetime guarantee. Replacement seals will cost you. Also, it is very important to take great attention of the walk in bathtub door when the bath is not in use to prevent early failure of the seal. Wiping down the door seal and door jamb after every use can preserve the integrity of the water seal. Follow the care as well as maintenance instructions. Also, any little collection of soil or debris on the door seal or where the seal comes in touch with all the door jamb can lead to a modest leak through the door seal constantly wipe down the door seal.

Question 10

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

Yes. Walk-in tubs can be personalized to your preference. Check with the makers about Idaho choices. Shades that are uniform with most bathrooms are only offered by some. Picking the right walk in tub for you means discussing the number of fashions, sizes and layouts to ensure it satisfies your own special needs and room requirements. You might have to pay an additional fee for a custom shade since most makers make baths in white and cream.

Question 11

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

Consumer Affairs advocates that an owner that is original purchase a lifetime guarantee to give buyers peace of mind about leaks. Additionally, ask if the lifetime guarantee is extended to other owners too. For most Idaho home installments, this will probably be contained for a set number of years.

Question 12

12) How much is it for a cheaper walk-in bathtub?

A more economical basic variant of the walk in tub can cost between $1,7000 and $3,000 in [
