![Aging Doesn't Mean Going Out of Style
Increasingly, seniors â and even savvy baby boomers â have made the decision to 'age in place,' rather than moving to retirement or nursing communities, and are designing their homes for the long-term. If you think bath design for seniors has to be cold or institutional, think again. The latest bath trends for these consumers combine function and comfort with subtle sophistication and elegance. The Bath & Kitchen Showplace has all the latest products to keep you, your loved ones or clients aging â and living â gracefully.
SHOWERS & BATHS
Walk-In Showers
Getting older does not mean sacrificing your spa-like shower experience! Any bathroom that 'ages gracefully' should include a spacious walk-in shower, complete with KOHLER WaterTile® bodysprays and the DTV⢠digital shower system. An extra-wide entry and built-in bench seating accommodate those in wheelchairs or unable to stand.

Walk-In Baths
The KOHLER Elevance⢠Rising Wall bath allows you to sit down with ease as soon as you enter to enjoy a fully immersive bath experience. It is sized for a standard 5' alcove, so it can replace an existing bath or be used in new construction. This elegant bath definitely rises to the occasion.](http://www.bkshowplace.com/enewsletter/2011/08/images/BKS_Aug_eNews_HR_082511_02.jpg)

Lever Handles
Seniors with arthritis or reduced hand dexterity may find smooth, rounded faucet knobs difficult to use. With its low-lever, easy-to-grip handles, the KOHLER Purist® faucet is functional and has beautiful, clean lines, making it an obvious choice for any bath.

Grab Bars
Rise out of your shower or tub in both a functional and stylish space. Today's grab bars are no longer stale or institutional, but seamlessly fit into any bath. Some grab bars, such as the Belay® 54 inch hand rail, are so subtle that they blend right into your shower's tile, keeping the focus where it should be â on your bath's craftsmanship and superior design.
