Walk-In Showers for Seniors in Garland, TX
For Garland parents who want to keep living in the house they raised their family in, and for the adult children helping them do it.
*Estimated payment with approved credit through Acorn Finance. Actual rate and terms vary.
The call often comes from a son or daughter. Dad has started taking sponge baths instead of climbing into the tub, or Mom mentioned, almost in passing, that she sat down hard on the edge last week. A walk-in shower replaces that tub wall or tall curb with an entry that is low or flush with the floor, plus a place to sit and something solid to hold.
It is a change made for one person and how they move today, not a hospital bathroom. Done well, it simply looks like an updated shower.
Close to 30,000 Garland Residents Are 65 or Older
Garland is a big city, and that changes what a modest percentage means. Census figures put 12.1% of residents at 65 or older. Out of roughly 245,000 people, that is close to 30,000 older adults, more than the entire population of many North Texas towns.
A lot of them are not newcomers. They are the people who bought into Garland when it was still growing fast, raised children here and paid off the mortgage. Their bathrooms were laid out for a young family that bathed kids in the tub, not for someone recovering from a knee replacement or managing balance problems.
The city is investing in this group. The Garland Senior Activity Center on Apollo Road serves residents 55 and older, and the City is replacing it with a new building of about 27,000 square feet, scheduled for completion in 2027. While it is under construction, most programs have moved to Fields Recreation Center. Staying active and social is a big part of aging well, and so is a home that does not make the morning shower the riskiest part of the day.
Health care in Garland has also shifted. Baylor Scott & White Medical Center-Garland on Marie Curie Boulevard closed in February 2018, and in 2020 the VA North Texas Health Care System took over the building. It now operates as the Garland VA Medical Center, an outpatient and specialty care clinic. For veterans who live in Garland, that means appointments close to home, and recovery that usually happens at home too. As a veteran-owned company, we understand why that matters.
During the free in-home assessment we talk with the person who will use the shower, and with family if they want to be there, about how they get in and out today and what may change. That decides the entry height, where the seat goes and where the grab-bar backing belongs.

Frequently Asked Questions
My mother lives alone in Garland and does not want strangers in the house for long. How disruptive is this?
Most installs take about two days, and the work stays in the one bathroom. If she has a second bathroom she can keep using it, and a family member is welcome to be there during the assessment and the install.
Can the shower work for someone who uses a walker now and may use a wheelchair later?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons to choose a curbless entry. We plan the opening, the seat and the grab-bar backing with that future in mind, so you are not redoing the shower in a few years.
My father is a veteran who gets his care at the Garland VA. Do you work with veterans?
EverSafe is veteran-owned, and we are glad to work with veterans and their families. We do not handle VA benefit applications, so ask the VA directly about any home modification programs; we can provide a written estimate if you need one.
Do we need a permit from the City of Garland?
We confirm requirements with the City of Garland for your specific project and handle any permitting needed on your behalf.
