We help property managers and care providers respond confidently to accommodation requests with solutions that meet accessibility requirements and real-world use.

Quick Accessibility Solutions for Existing Units

Tub Cut-Outs, Grab Bars & Safer Bathing Upgrades

In many apartments, elderly housing units, and group homes, the most practical solution is modifying the existing bathtub to make it safer and easier to use — without a full bathroom renovation.

Accessible Living provides fast, professional installation of:

  • Tub cut-out conversions

  • Grab bars and safety bars

  • Support poles and transfer assistance bars

  • Low-cost fall prevention upgrades

These solutions are ideal for:

  • Single-unit accommodation requests

  • Budget-sensitive properties

  • Occupied apartments where minimizing disruption is critical

  • Situations where a full barrier-free shower is not required

Benefits include:

  • Faster installation than a full shower replacement

  • Lower cost than ADA shower conversions

  • Reduced fall risk

  • Minimal structural changes

  • Option for temporary or permanent panels

Tub Cut-Out Conversions

We install professionally engineered tub cut-out systems that convert a traditional bathtub into a safer, step-in shower.

Commonly requested as:

  • Tub cut-out installation

  • Bathtub cut-out for reasonable accommodation

  • Low step-in tub modification

  • Accessible tub conversion

  • Tub safety step

These modifications significantly reduce the step-over height, making bathing safer for seniors and mobility-limited residents.

Tub cut-outs are frequently used in:

  • Elderly housing units

  • Assisted living apartments

  • Group homes

  • Independent senior housing

They provide a practical middle-ground solution when a full ADA roll-in shower is not required.

Grab Bars & Support Systems

We install commercial-grade grab bars in:

  • Showers and tubs

  • Toilet areas

  • Entry transitions

  • Hallways and stairs (when applicable)

Options include:

  • 18", 24", and 32" grab bars

  • Smooth white or stainless steel

  • Knurled grip options

  • Fold down toilet rails

We also install floor-to-ceiling support poles and transfer rails when additional stability is needed.

Proper placement and secure mounting are critical — this is not a handyman job. These installations must withstand daily assisted use.

Whether the need is:

  • ADA shower installation

  • Barrier-free shower conversion

  • Tub cut-out modification

  • Grab bar installation

  • Handicap-accessible bathroom upgrades
