FROM GARDEN TUB TO TRUE INDEPENDENCE – Woodstock, GA Renovation

December 2, 2025
Before-and-after of a bathroom renovation. Beige and white bathroom becomes blue-tiled shower with safety bars and dark cabinets.

This client in Woodstock, GA became wheelchair bound and could no longer access her traditional garden tub. Bathing safely was impossible — until we stepped in to redesign the space for safety, mobility, dignity, and future care planning.


🔑 Key Project Modifications:

✔ Removed the full garden tub
✔ Installed a 
zero-threshold / barrier-free shower
✔ Created 
additional open floor space for wheelchair maneuverability
✔ Added 
built-in shower seat & handheld shower attachment
✔ Installed 
multiple grab bars, including front-wall placement
✔ Used 
non-slip flooring throughout
✔ Modified the cabinet & sink for 
roll-under wheelchair access
✔ 
Widened the powder room door to allow easy entry
✔ 
Expanded the overall bathroom layout for future caregiver assistance
🌟 Outcome:

The client can now bathe independently, safely, and without assistance. The bathroom is also now designed to accommodate a caregiver in the future, ensuring long-term accessibility and dignity.

“I never thought I’d be able to bathe on my own again — this changed my life.”

When a fire or emergency strikes, seconds matter. For someone who is wheelchair-bound, uses a walker, or struggles with mobility , getting out of the home can become nearly impossible without proper planning and modification. In Georgia, building codes require at least one operable emergency exit , and most homes include two egress points so one can serve as a backup if the other is blocked. But here’s the challenge: If both exits have steps… If doorways are too narrow… If there’s no clear, safe path outside… If the threshold is too high for a wheelchair… Those exits aren’t truly accessible. ✔ Common Barriers We See: High thresholds Narrow doors Multiple steps at all exits No ramp access Obstacles in the egress path Heavy exterior doors difficult to operate ✔ Home Modifications That Change Outcomes: Zero-threshold exterior doors Ramps or modular ramp systems Widened doorways Smooth, slip-resistant paths to safe areas Vertical platform lifts (when terrain prevents ramp installation) Reinforced grab bars at exit points An emergency is not the time to discover a home’s limitations. Planning ahead means safety, dignity, and peace of mind for families and caregivers. 📞 770-301-8165 | 🌐 www.alatlanta.com
