The Petite is 52 inches long and 28 inches wide. Measure the alcove length, width and the narrowest doorway on the path to the bathroom, then send us the numbers. Extension panels close the gap in a standard 60-inch alcove, and we confirm fit before you order.
The seat is 19 inches wide and 13 inches deep, which suits seated hip widths up to about 18 inches and bathers from 4'10" to 6'1". If you are near either limit, call us and we will steer you to the next size.
No. Hydro and air systems are plumbed into the shell at the factory, so choose your therapy package when you order. Heated seat, chromatherapy and aromatherapy are chosen at the same time.
No. We ship supply-only anywhere in the U.S. and Canada (free shipping to the lower 48 on many models, freight quoted for Canada) and you keep the factory warranty when the tub is installed to specification, and Ella is built for supply-only: no in-home visit is required and you can use your own installer. Or our factory-certified installers handle everything, usually in one day.
When designing a bathroom for aging in place, a walk in tub or shower is something you should consider. Having an elderly bathtub or walk in shower makes sense for many people looking for ways to stay out of long term care.
Being able to remain independent and bathe without the fear of falling is extremely important. None of us want to be scared to take a bath or shower. But the reality is many people do have fears of falling in the bathtub or shower. Rightfully so, serious accidents occur every year in bathroom environments.
You may already be researching aging in place bathroom design and learning about the many options available to you. Installing wall-mounted safety grab bars is another precaution that helps design a safe aging in place bathroom. Many people install ADA compliant grab bars by the toilet, bathtub, shower, entrance and anywhere extra stability is wanted.
Walk in tubs offer a comfortable seated bathing experience that reduces the need to step over tall bathtub walls. Additionally, low-threshold walk in showers allow easy access with wheelchairs or walkers. That is why more homeowners now upgrade these areas before mobility changes make normal bathing difficult.
Bathrooms remodeled for aging in place often include grab bars, non-slip floors, wide entry paths, and lighting improvements for visibility. These small details can help you feel comfortable and confident in your own home as time goes on.
All of Aging Safely’s step in baths have showers as well. They include removable handheld shower wands that make it easier to shower while sitting down. However, they can be wall mounted and function like a regular shower, making them extremely versatile.
The Ella’s Petite model features a 5 piece chrome roman faucet set with handheld shower. We want to help you find the best step in bathtubs with shower options available. Bathroom safety for the elderly can look great and feel even better.
Aging in place is one of the biggest priorities for families across the country. More seniors want to remain independent and avoid long-term care when possible. Because bathrooms are one of the most dangerous rooms in a home, focusing on remodels that include accessible bathing is a meaningful investment.
When you combine grab bars, low thresholds, and seated bathing options, you create a safer home environment that supports long-term independence. Ultimately, that provides peace of mind not only for you, but also for loved ones who assist with care.
