Tub Cut at Harrison Heights Senior Village

At first, you might assume that cutting an 18” wide opening in the side of a bathtub would ruin it, but think again.  If the tub is unusable as a tub or shower because a person feels unsafe stepping over the side, or doesn’t use it for soaking because they can’t get up if they sit on the floor of the tub, what good is it?  It is a big useless waste of space!  Why not cut the side out of it, especially if you know what you are doing and you install a Tubcut™ which is strong, economical, and reversible?

This month, we visited our friend Pam Jackson, the property Manager at Harrison Heights Senior Village (402) 933-8080 to talk about her with the Tubcut™  we did for some of the people who live there. We had three major questions for her to determine if the process had been successful

1) Did the Tubcut™  improve the safety and independence of the person who had to use it?

2) Was the Tubcut™ good for helping her get the apartment filled, and for the community?

3) If the opportunity arose, would she arrange a Tubcut™ for another person who needed or wanted one?

The answers to all three questions were resoundingly positive. “[The Resident] doesn’t have to worry about falling or anything like that when he gets into the tub, but the option is also open where we have the piece and can put it back if another resident wants the full tub…Our whole office likes it.”

We are always thrilled to help out our friends at Harrison Heights, and help keep their residents safe and independent. If you know people who could use a little extra security getting in and out of the tub, but want to be able to convert it back to a regular tub if need be, share the news, and share the video. The Tubcut™ is the economical solution they need.
