Safeway Safety Step Extends Reach With North American Network of Installers for Aging-in-Place Solutions

Partnership With Major Box Home Improvement Store and Independent Installers Provides Coast-to-Coast Resources for Company's Bathtub Accessibility Products


CINCINNATI, OH--(Marketwire - Feb 29, 2012) - With a growing network of installers, including a partnership with one of the country's largest home improvement stores, Safeway Safety Step, LLC ("Safeway") is ready for aggressive growth across the United States and Canada. Started in the garage of a former firefighter for the Cincinnati Fire Department, Safeway products are now available in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and several Canadian provinces.

Safeway's products include the Safeway Tub Door®, a product and installation method designed to add a water‐tight sealable door to an existing bathtub. Installation includes cutting and removing a section of the existing tub and custom fitting the resulting opening with a door unit. In addition to the Safeway Tub Door®, the Safeway Step® is an installed product that retrofits the existing bathtub to a permanent walk‐in shower.

"During the past couple of years, we have been building our network of installers to include home accessibility specialists and a number of top remodeling franchise organizations to be able to support customers across the country and into Canada," said Chris Stafford, president of Safeway Safety Step, LLC. "Most consumers today will be able to go to our web site and find a local installer for our products. Many can simply walk into one of our home improvement store partner's locations to request a consultation for our products. We have come a long way in the last couple of years, and as a company, we are well positioned to grow and help even more seniors, individuals with disabilities and their caregivers with affordable bathtub modifications and aging-in-place solutions."

Safeway's patented accessibility modifications are installed in just a few hours and help reduce the possibility of dangerous falls. Thousands of Safeway Steps® and Safeway Tub Doors® have been installed in private residences, as well as assisted living and other senior living facilities.
