Transformation Tuesday- Roll in Shower
Happy Tuesday!
Today I want to show you how we transformed a small, cramped bathroom into a spacious roll in shower.
Click on the slideshow below to see this weeks Transformation ...
The purpose of a roll in shower is essentially that there are NO barriers. It is an open layout design.
Notice in the images above that there is a drain in the shower. Where the drain is, there is a slight slope, which allows the water to flow directly into the drain and keep the rest of the bathroom floor dry.
Other equipment shown are the grab bars and ADA toilet. There is a standard grab bar by the toilet as well as a flip grab bar. This gives our client the help she needs to transition to and from the toilet. Lastly, an ADA height toilet makes all of the difference. These toilets are higher than standard toilets, which helps our client significantly.
Remember, all of these modifications are made to improve our clients quality of life. An ADA home gives our clients INDEPENDENCE to do as much as they can at home, and to STAY at home.

Bathroom Renovation Tips that Make Cleaning a Breeze
What if I told you that one day, you may enjoy cleaning your bathroom?
Would you call me crazy?
In this article from Houzz, Becky Harris talks about her recently renovated bathroom and how much easier it is to clean it.
If you think about it, these renovations can make a big difference.
- Having a hand held shower makes it easy to rinse the shower area.
- Wall mounted toilet and sinks are the best! They take up little space and give you an open layout. This makes it so much easier to clean the floor, since there is less stuff in the way.
- Also, take into consideration the premium quality materials we use in bathroom remodels. BFA LLC, always double waterproofs bathrooms and use mold and mildew resistant grout. We also look for tile that is low maintenance and non slip.
When your bathroom is properly renovated with modern materials and technology, you will want to be in there more and it will be a lot easier to keep clean.

Cerebral Palsy Awareness!
March 25th is Cerebral Palsy Awareness!
Today, we want to bring awareness to CP.
I am trying to do my part to help to educate people about CP, as my 23 year old daughter, Sofía has Cerebral Palsy. As you all know, Sofia is the reason BFA LLC. exists!
Children and adults with Cerebral Palsy deserve more research into the cause and prevention, more research into treatment options, new thinking about the standard of care, more clinicians and scientists who specialize in it. ......
Please look up UCP- Detroit, http://www.ucpdetroit.org if you are interested in getting involved, needs resources or other information.
Wheelchairs on Airplanes
Do you or a loved one use a wheelchair for mobility? How often do you travel? What forms of travel do you prefer?
More often than not, people who travel with wheelchairs do not choose airplanes as transportation because of the inconvenience.
When you fly:
- You cannot use your own wheelchair
- Airplane seats do not provide the support you need
- Wheelchairs are broken when checked in with the luggage
- Wheelchairs even get lost
What a lot of able bodied people do not see is that wheelchairs are not accessories, they are an extension of the person. When you are transferred to another chair or worse, if you are held up in the airport because your wheelchair is lost, there are serioussituations that risk peoples lives.
Leave it to Michele Erwin, a mom of a child with disabilities, to fight for wheelchairs on airplanes. The unfortunate part is that her son cannot travel with her because it is too risky for him to fly without his chair.
Click below to watch the BBC video and learn about this incredible mom's plans for making airplane rides more comfortable for people who use wheelchairs.
