A Bathroom That Works Better for You
Accessible bathroom remodeling can make everyday routines safer, easier, and more comfortable. Clemens Home Solutions works with homeowners across East Central Indiana who are planning ahead, adapting to mobility changes, or helping an aging family member stay comfortable at home.
A high tub wall, lack of seating, hard-to-reach storage, or poor lighting can make a bathroom harder to use. We start by identifying those problem areas, then recommend practical updates that improve function without making the space feel clinical.
Planning a Bathroom for Aging in Place
Many accessible bathroom projects begin before a serious mobility problem develops. If you plan to remain in your home as you get older, updating the bathroom now can make future routines easier. Lower shower entries, seating, well-placed grab bars, accessible storage, improved lighting, and comfortable fixture heights can all support long-term use.
The same approach can help adult children make a parent's bathroom safer and easier to navigate. You don’t have to redesign everything at once. The project can focus on the areas that matter most today while considering how the bathroom may need to function in the years ahead.
Create a Safer, Easier Shower Entrance
For many homeowners, the biggest obstacle is simply getting into the shower. A traditional bathtub requires you to lift your leg over a high wall, which can become uncomfortable or unsteady with age or limited mobility. That’s why we offer zero-threshold and low-profile shower base options through Samuel Mueller that can reduce or remove that barrier.
A zero-threshold shower base sits flush with the bathroom floor, eliminating the step into the shower. A low-profile shower base keeps the entry height much lower than a traditional tub or shower curb.
The right option depends on the existing bathroom. Floor framing, drain location, and available space can all affect what’s possible, so we evaluate those details during planning. If replacing an existing bathtub is part of the project, learn more about our tub-to-shower conversions. You can also explore our walk-in showers.
Add Seating Where You Need It
Standing through an entire shower is not comfortable or practical for everyone. Built-in seating lets you sit while bathing, washing, or taking a break.
Samuel Mueller shower systems include several seating options:
Fixed Corner Seat
Provides a permanent place to sit while leaving more of the shower floor open.
Rectangular Seat
Offers a wider fixed seating surface along one wall.
Fold-Up Padded Seat
Folds against the wall when not in use, making it a good option when different household members use the same shower.
The best choice depends on how much support you want, how much floor space is available, and whether the seat needs to stay out of the way when someone else showers.
Place Grab Bars Where They Are Actually Useful
Grab bars can add stability when entering the shower, standing up, turning, or moving within the enclosure. Their usefulness depends heavily on placement, which is why we look at how the homeowner naturally moves through the space.
Available grab bars come in multiple lengths and coordinating finishes, including polished chrome, brushed metal, matte black, and warm metallic tones.
A grab-bar shelf can serve two purposes at once. It provides a secure handhold while also creating storage for soap, shampoo, or other frequently used items. That can be especially helpful for homeowners who want support without adding more separate fixtures to the shower walls.
Keep Soap, Shampoo, and Everyday Items Within Reach
Accessibility is not only about entrances and support bars. Storage placement can make a noticeable difference too. If toiletries are too low, too high, or tucked into awkward corners, reaching for them can affect balance and comfort. Samuel Mueller shower systems offer built-in storage that can be positioned around the person using the shower.
Options include:
Corner shelves
Individual wall shelves
Shower caddies
Storage pods for larger items
We consider storage placement during the design process so everyday products can stay within comfortable reach instead of becoming an afterthought.
Choose a Shower Entry That Fits the Space
The shower door or curtain affects more than appearance. It also changes how much room you need to enter and move around the bathroom.
Clemens Home Solutions offers several enclosure options:
Pivot Doors: Swing outward from the shower and work best when there is enough clear floor space in front of the opening.
Framed Glass Doors: Create a defined enclosure with a fixed panel alongside the entry.
Straight or Curved Curtain Rods: Provide a flexible opening, with curved rods creating additional room inside the shower.
We look at shower width, nearby fixtures, available floor space, and the homeowner's mobility before recommending an entry style. For more shower design options, visit shower remodeling.
Improve Accessibility Beyond the Shower
For some homeowners, the shower is the biggest concern. For others, several parts of the bathroom have become harder to use.
A broader accessible bathroom remodel can address features such as:
Chair-height toilets that can reduce the effort required when sitting down or standing up
Vanities with practical drawer placement that keep frequently used items easier to reach
Front-lit and backlit LED mirrors that improve visibility at the sink and throughout the room
Waterproof luxury vinyl flooring that provides a durable surface for bathrooms exposed to daily moisture
You can incorporate these features alongside the shower remodel or include them in a larger bathroom update. View our bathroom remodeling services for a broader look at full-room options.
Accessible Design Can Still Feel Personal
A bathroom can be easier to use and still feel warm, personal, and well-designed. Samuel Mueller solid-surface shower walls are available in marble-inspired and tile-inspired patterns, while grab bars and fixtures can coordinate in polished chrome, brushed metal, matte black, and warm metallic finishes. Vanity colors, countertops, mirrors, and accessories can complement the shower rather than look like separate additions.
The result can feel like a thoughtfully remodeled bathroom first, with accessibility built in. If you want to compare materials and finishes in person, visit our showroom in Muncie.

Accessible Bathroom Remodeling FAQs
No. Floor framing, drain position, and available space all affect whether a true zero-threshold shower is possible. During planning, we evaluate the existing bathroom and explain whether a zero-threshold or low-profile base is the better fit.
A traditional grab bar provides a fixed handhold for support. A grab-bar shelf combines that support with a horizontal surface for storing toiletries. Both can be selected in finishes that coordinate with the rest of the shower.
Yes. Fold-up padded seats are available and can be stored against the wall when not in use. Fixed corner and rectangular seats are also available for homeowners who prefer permanent seating.
No. Some homeowners only need to address the shower entrance, seating, storage, or support features. Others choose to update the toilet, vanity, lighting, flooring, and other parts of the room at the same time. The project can be built around what is currently difficult to use.
It can make everyday bathroom routines easier by reducing common obstacles such as high tub walls, lack of seating, hard-to-reach storage, and limited support. The right changes depend on the person, the bathroom layout, and how their mobility may be changing.

Customer Reviews
Clemens Home Solutions did an amazing job on our Gutters this evening. Luis and his team were extremely fast, Knowledgeable, and very polite with their profession. It was a very cold day this evening and his team did fantastic with the elements. I would gladly refer anyone to Clemens Home Solutions for their next home improvement project.
Clemens was absolutely perfect to work with. I received phone calls with updates on the project weekly which actually got completed earlier than expected. The finished job was fantastic, the work was excellent and the new door is of great quality.
I've known I needed to replace large windows in my living room for years. Clemens Home Solutions made that happen and I am so happy with how everything looks and feels! Everyone on the team from sales to installation made me feel like a valued customer. I highly recommend Clemens Home Solutions!
I am very happy with my new gutters. No more leaking at the corners where my old gutters met. i probably got in the way of Luis and his team with all my questions and curiosity of how the gutters were made on sight but both of them were very helpful and friendly and didn't seem to mind me interrupting their work. I've never had a company stay in touch with me before the project was started like they did. I highly recommend them!!
Overall 5 star experience. Our project had some challenges and we had to change plans a few times and someone from Clemens was always in contact with us. The work was completed in a day and they communicated with us during the project. They cleaned up, were super nice, and the windows look wonderful!
Clemens did a great job of replacing my gutters. Eric Logan was a great sales person, no high pressure, just information. Luis and his team did the replacement and were quick and very good! Luis made sure he followed up with me and that I was happy. I asked for a longer down spout on my front porch and Luis came and replaced it right away!! Thank you. They were great to work with.
Extremely happy with the service and communication! Had all new windows and a front door installed . The crew was super friendly , and explained things as they installed . They didn’t mind me being in their way! They were all very professional, and did a great job cleaning up afterwards!
I recently had my gutters, soffit and fascia done by Clemens. Austin and his crew was amazing . They were professional and kept me updated during the process and their follow-up after the project was even more appreciated. I recommend this great company to anyone.
Clemens did a great job. They are very honest and kept us well informed on the progress of the windows. The installers were very delightful and did a great job installing the windows. They kept the work area very clean and were respectful of our house. I would highly recommend Clemens to anyone looking to replace windows!
