(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 08, 2007 ) Kelowna, BC - Aquassure Bath Products is hoping to spread awareness about National Assisted Living Week September 9-15th. National Assisted Living Week, established in 1995 by the National Center for Assisted Living (NCAL), provides a unique opportunity to bring together residents, families, staff, volunteers, and the community to celebrate our elders and the services provided within assisted living and residential care communities. “We’d like to take this opportunity to recognize and thank those people that work and volunteer their time with seniors. Their efforts make a difference in people’s lives daily. If you are able, try volunteering at your local senior’s outreach program or spend some time with a senior in your community and be sure to thank someone who works with seniors,” says Matthew Longman, President, Aquassure Bath Products Inc. Assisted living facilities provide independent living within a supportive environment. Assisted living facilities are a middle ground between living on your own and in a long-term care or nursing home. Residents in an assisted living facility often have their own private living quarters, but go to a common dining room for meals and may have help with activities such as dressing, laundry, or bathing. Activities, services and living arrangements vary between facilities. The resident can choose the level of care they receive. Assisted living facilities attract people who require help in daily living activities, but do not need the skilled medical care provided in a nursing home. The advantage of assisted living is that elders can receive substantial care in a more residential (and less restrictive) environment than a nursing home or long-term care facility. Aquassure Bath Products was founded in 2002 by Matthew Longman and Shari McDowell. They make accessible bathtubs for seniors and disabled people. Their bathtubs are also used in assisted living facilities. Unlike walk-in bathtubs, Aquassure’s bathtubs are designed to be used by people with mobility challenges ranging from poor balance to those requiring wheelchairs and lifts. Their handicap, universal design bathtubs are full-sized and are easily retrofitted into existing bathtub enclosures.
