When my husband and I were looking for a new home to accommodate our disabled daughter, it was the bathroom that had our attention each time we looked at a different house. She has cerebral palsy, is completely dependent and in a wheelchair. Bathing her is difficult. When one’s health is compromised by a disability or an illness, such as mesothelioma, using the bathtub or shower also can become more complicated. The weakness and fatigue associated with the disease can make climbing in and out of a tub or standing in a shower with a wet floor not only difficult, but dangerous. Even for the sure-footed, the lavatory can be a dicey place. A Centers for Disease and Control Prevention study in 2008 revealed that an estimated 234, 094 nonfatal bathroom injuries occurred in the U.S. in the bathroom for people over 15 years and older. Eighty-one percent of those injuries were falls. For people already living with the effects of mesothelioma, any additional injuries would only compound the s...

One of the most desired rooms in newly built homes and in additions to existing homes is the master bath suite . A master bath suite is defined as a bathroom that is directly connected to a master bedroom . The master bath suite provides privacy because it is never accessed through common areas like kitchens or hallways. Prominent since the 1950s, but especially popular in today's modern homes, the master bath suite has truly come of age. Terry Kenney, president of the Chicago-Midwest Chapter of the National Kitchen and Bath Association , believes the master bath suite is a necessity for busy couples. "The master bath suite provides efficient use of a bathroom/closet space by providing all the necessary storage for clothing, shoes, linens and personal grooming items in one room, separate from the bedroom. Some homeowners have installed under-counter refrigeration and a coffee maker. If space allows, laundry facilities or exercise areas a...

Homeowners are installing clear glass showers with low or no curbs when they remodel; multiple showerheads are also popular. (Photo: ReBath) It's not that bathtubs are disappearing in Arizona homes; it's that showers are getting bigger and better. Bathroom remodelers say one of the most popular homeowner requests is removing the old tub and shower in the master bath and replacing them with a wild-and-crazy shower with all the latest spray-jets, bells and whistles. If this is your plan, be sure you have at least one tub in the house when you're ready to sell. You could turn off buyers with small children and maybe other buyers who love long bubble baths . The shower trend may say something about the graying of baby boomers. "A lot of it has to do with 'what do I have to do to stay in my house' and 'I can't step over the edge of the bath tub to get in and out any more,' " according to Kurt Kittleson of ReBath and Kitchens in Phoenix.
