A walk-in tub in a 1920s Spanish-style house in Santa Barbara is a different project from one in a 2005 two-story home in Temecula or a 1950s slab ranch in Fresno. The guides linked below are written for each region, with notes on the homes people live in there, the local Area Agency on Aging, and things to plan for.
How service works across the state
- Professional installation is arranged through Aging Safely Baths & More's factory-certified installers where they are available. Availability depends on your location, so ask with your ZIP code.
- Delivery for your own contractor is available statewide, including rural counties, so a licensed local contractor can install the tub.
- Consultations start by phone. There are no local showrooms or city offices.

Newer two-story homes with upstairs primary baths, long hot summers, and two county aging departments.
Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley
Mid-century modern homes, many seasonal residents, condos and country-club communities, and extreme summer heat.

Spanish Colonial Revival homes, older cottages, and an aging network in transition.
Northern and Central California

Victorian flats with stairs, upstairs bathrooms, and tight access in dense neighborhoods.

Single-story slab homes, hot summers, rural families spread across long distances.
Everywhere else in California
Do not see your area? Delivery reaches every California county, from Humboldt and Shasta to Imperial. Many households in smaller towns work with a licensed local contractor who installs a delivered tub. Our licensed contractor guide explains what to check, and the California aging resources page explains how to find your Area Agency on Aging through the statewide line, 1-800-510-2020.

What is the same everywhere
Some steps are the same in every part of the state:
- Start with the person: how they move and what feels hardest.
- Measure the space and the path into the house.
- Check funding options before signing anything.
- Confirm the installer's CSLB license.
- Ask your city or county what permits apply.
