There will come a time in everyone’s life when getting in and out of a traditional bathtub will become difficult and outright dangerous. Bathtub safety can be a concern for anyone, but it is especially worrisome for senior citizens. A WebMD study suggests a third of adults over age 60 have difficulty climbing in and out of the bathtub or shower, and more than 70% of those with shower stalls use unsafe features – such as the glass door or towel bar – for support. Not only will a walk-in tub give you and your family peace of mind, but it also provides a new level of luxury you might not have known existed. Some of the essential features include outward open doors, low fill and drain time, warm air massage systems, bubble jets, and so many more. It is a luxurious experience right in the comfort of your home. If a walk-in tub is purchased for medical safety reasons, it may be considered a medical expense. Therefore, the materials and the installation costs may be tax-deductible as a Medical and Dental Expense. Consult with your tax advisor to see if you may qualify for this type of tax deduction.
