Local company completes accessible bathing training

BOISE, ID – Best Bath Systems announced that GFM Construction of  Vancouver Washington has successfully completed the two day comprehensive Dealer Days training regarding all aspects of accessible bathing. This training features seminars on accessible bathing options available to assist older Americans to stay in their homes longer, a concept known as “Aging in Place.” The concept of “Aging in place” is to encourage and support individuals to alter their homes for growing older without needing to relocate to a specialized health care environment. Typically the bathroom and the kitchen are the most important rooms for remodeling.

“With a few modifications, many older Americans can easily live in the home they love and not have to move,” said Frank Maestas.  This training allowed us to be an excellent resource to older couples and their families regarding not only bathing issues, but also “aging in place” strategies for the entire home.” Additionally participants reviewed installation procedures, participated in a plant tour and problem solving exercises. “This was one of the most valuable training experiences I have ever participated in,” added Maestas.
