What if you could transform your bathroom into a fully accessible space without sacrificing style or functionality? Our knowledgeable guest, Karin Wilson, shares her experience and insights on accessible wet room showers and how they have changed her life. As a power wheelchair user with cerebral palsy, Karin has lived in multiple accessible homes and has even designed her own functional wet room showers, allowing her to shower comfortably and conveniently. Karin is also a travel blogger and has created valuable Disability Tool Kits on a variety of topics available at freewheelingtravel.org  Join us as Karin describes the concept of a wet room—a space with multiple drains and tile throughout the room that enables people to shower on the toilet and have cabinetry nearby that is not in the way of the shower. We discuss the trial and error process of designing and remodeling accessible bathrooms, the various types of tiles and drains that can be used, and the importance of ensuring the surface is non-slip and using a linear drain to maintain a traditional bathroom look.Finally, Karin shares valuable tips on finding contractors who understand the concept of wet rooms and universal design and the cost of creating a wet room. We also touch on the programs available to assist in the cost of home modifications, like Medicaid and Vocational Rehabilitation. Listen in as Karen shares her journey of creating accessible bathrooms and the lessons she has learned along the way, and discover how accessible wet rooms can be a game-changer for wheelchair users.Full transcript: click here.Cush Pocket, a proud sponsor, is a disabled owned company that sells wheelchair bags.
