When seniors update their bathrooms, safety and comfort are just as important as design. Choosing the right walk-in bath ensures bathing remains both secure and relaxing.  

Key Walk-In Bath Features for Seniors

The most important walk-in bath features for seniors include: 

  • A low step-in entry for easy access 
  • A wide, secure door with a watertight seal 
  • Built-in handrails and grab bars  
  • Massage jets for comfort and relief 

The KOHLER® Walk-In Bath combines all these features and more to enhance both safety and comfort.
