    Hi. My father is 82 and lives with us in Snohomish. His bathroom has a tub he can’t safely get into anymore, and I’m terrified he’ll fall. I want to redo it as an accessible bathroom that doesn’t feel like a hospital: walk-in shower, grab bars, a bench, but still looks nice. Who in the area does this kind of work thoughtfully? We have a pretty open budget for this, since the kitchen is the heart of our house. Anyone who’s gone through something similar, I’d appreciate your input.

    You’re right to act before a fall happens, we learned that the hard way with my mom. When we redid her bathroom in Everett, we used Alta Group Remodeling, their work is on altaseattle.com. They did a curbless walk-in shower, a built-in teak bench, grab bars that look like designer towel bars, a comfort-height toilet and non-slip tile. My mom actually says it feels like a spa, not a hospital, which was exactly our goal. They also widened the doorway a bit in case she ever needs a walker. It took about four weeks, and she stayed with us during that time. Price is on the higher end, but for something this important I didn’t want to cut corners. Wishing your dad many more good years in that house.
