Ella’s Bubbles Promotes ADA Compliant Safe Bathing for Elderly and Handicapped

Nov. 20, 2009 - PRLog -- In 2005, 15,800 people 65 and older died from injuries related to unintentional falls; about 1.8 million people 65 and older were treated in emergency departments for nonfatal injuries from falls, and more than 433,000 of these patients were hospitalized (CDC 2005).  In their continuing efforts to fight these fatalities and injuries, Ella’s Bubbles is getting ready to launch their latest Ella’s brand walk in tub model.  

Ella’s Bubbles is the premier manufacturer of deluxe safety walk in tubs for handicapped and senior bathing, and distributor of exquisite glass mosaic tiles and affordable bathroom fixtures.  For four years, Ella’s has partnered with industry professionals to develop the most demanded and fashionable bathroom furnishings.

Two years ago Ella’s realized a market niche that was severely under accommodated in the bathroom fixture industry.  Persons with mobility problems faced limited options while seeking bathroom ware that fulfilled their needs for safety, comfort, and style.  Since then, Ella’s has shifted their business concept of producing general bathroom fixtures to focusing on the development of walk in bathtubs for seniors and the disabled.  Ella’s has crafted their walk in bath tubs to be compliant with current ADA standards and to cater to the needs of these at-risk demographics.

Walk-in tubs are ideal for those who have a difficult time stepping over a standard tub.  With an easy-to-open door, slip resistant textured floor, and grab bar to hold onto for added support, the bather can safely and comfortably walk into the walkin bath

Soon, Ella’s Bubbles will be introducing their newest Ella’s brand walk-in tub model.  Unlike a cheap fiberglass tub the competition produces, Ella’s walk in bathtub is made from high quality acrylic.  Acrylic is a non-porous, thick, strong, and high-gloss material.  Fiberglass is porous, fragile, and has a matte finish.  The non-porous nature of acrylic walkin tubs keeps bacteria, mold, and mildew from building up.  This not only prevents the spread of germs, but also makes cleaning the acrylic walk in bath incredibly easy.  A fiberglass tub is susceptible to chips and cracks which allows dirt to collect and makes maintenance of the walk-in tub nearly impossible.  Acrylic walk-in baths will keep their color over time whereas fiberglass walkin bathtubs have proven to fade and become dull in appearance.

Ella’s brand walk-in tubs are equipped with a therapeutic massage system consisting of hydrotherapy water jets and air jets with an adjustable air flow rate control.  This lets the bather decide how mildly or aggressively the massage is delivered by the jet tub.  The hydrotherapy system in Ella’s brand walkin tubs have proven to provide relief for many ailments such as arthritis, back pain, inflammation, fibromyalgia, depression, multiple sclerosis, and many more.  A crucial safety feature in the walk in tubs are the red safety thermostatic control valves.  The thermostatic control valve on the walk in tub prevents temperature shocks that can result from accidental scalding and cause falls in the bathtub.  
In addition to walk-in tubs, Ella’s Bubbles will be adding other bathroom safety fixtures to their product line to greater serve the needs of those with mobility problems.  Expect to see bathroom safety items such as an ADA grab bar or grab rail and a walk in shower (a wheelchair shower that is accessible because it is a low threshold handicap shower) that are as stylish as they are safe on their website www.ellasbubbles.com in the near future.

After four years of extensive research and development and multiple walk tub test models, Ella’s has perfected their new Ella’s brand walkin tub to fully accommodate those with a need for safe bathing.  Laimonis Magone, Owner of Ella’s Bubbles says, “I am confident to describe our walk in tub using one word—perfection.  While developing our walkin tub we never sacrificed quality for quantity.  We realize how unique and special our customers are and we’ve had them at the forefront of our minds with every detail that went into design and engineering of the walk in bathtub.” Ella’s promise is that people who live independently with mobility concerns are guaranteed the greatest benefit of all when using Ella’s brand walk in tubs--peace of mind.

Ella’s Bubbles is aggressively developing their dealer and agent network nationwide in the United States and Canada.  The company has been hiring general contractors, real estate agents, designers, architects, physical therapists, chiropractors, care givers, and the like to distribute their walk in bath tubs.  If you’re interested in joining Ella’s team, please call them at 312-929-3057.
