Senior-Friendly Showers

We've been remodeling bathrooms for over 30 years, and we love installing high-quality Bestbath showers. These walk-in shower systems allow people with all levels of ability to enjoy convenience and safety in the bathroom with beautiful, customizable design.

Bestbath low-barrier and walk-in showers are durable, low-maintenance, and easy to clean. Shower surrounds have the look of ceramic tile and are available in a wide variety of colors with custom glass tile accent options. All Bestbath shower systems come with a 30-year limited manufacturer's warranty.

Our customers love Bestbath showers because they get the safety features they need with plenty of design options, meaning you get a safer shower that looks like it belongs in your home, not in a clinic. We can install grab bars and a flip-down shower seat exactly where you need after the shower has been installed.

You won't find attractive, accessible shower safety solutions like this at your local big box hardware store. Not even close.

In 2011, the Center for Disease and Control (CDC)reported that every year more than 320,000 people over the age of 15 visit the emergency room due to injuries suffered in the bathroom. Additionally, the CDC reported that each year more than 300,000 people over the age of 65 are hospitalized for fractures, with over 95% of those fractures occurring from falling sideways.

With theses reported statistics, its no wonder that more and more of the calls we receive here at Sonnenburg Builders are from older individuals or adult children of elderly parents looking for remodeling ideas to improve their quality of life while allowing them to age in place and with dignity. Our independence remodeling specialists also provide kitchen remodeling for seniors and disabled individuals, allowing people of all ages and capabilities to maintain their independence at home.
