        A National Institute of Health study showed that San Antonio Emergency Medical Services responded to 13,163 fall-related incidents involving people older than 65 over a four-year period. Around 25% of area seniors live alone, and many residents in neighborhoods like The Dominion, Five Points and Alamo Heights are retirees.

        Every company on our list includes installation as part of your purchase price, but you might have to pay a plumber to install your bathtub if you choose a different retailer.

        Walk-in tubs may seem expensive, but they’re a one-time investment. Paying for assisted living in San Antonio at facilities like Heritage Creek, Brookdale and Independence Hill can cost more than $47,000 a year for a one-bedroom apartment.

        Walk-in tub permits in San Antonio

        Walk-in tub installation requires a plumbing permit, which costs $50. The city of San Antonio requires all licensed contractors to register with Development Services before receiving any permits, and only state-licensed contractors can get permits from the city.

        If your home is in a Historic District, Neighborhood Conservation District or flood zone, there are additional steps you need to complete — make sure to speak with the city government and ask the company providing your walk-in tub if it has experience working in these areas.

        If you hire your own plumber or contractor instead of using the supplier’s installation options, confirm the person you’re hiring is licensed with the state. You also want to check the company's insurance.
