Bathroom Safety Solutions
Safer Bathrooms Start with Better Design
If the bathroom in your home isn’t accessible, it can become a major barrier to safe and independent living. At HME Home Medical, we provide professional bathroom remodeling and safety modification services that help people stay in the homes they love—comfortably, confidently, and with dignity.
Our experienced team works with customers across Northeast Wisconsin to install medical-grade bathroom solutions that support aging in place, post-hospital recovery, and long-term accessibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will insurance cover bathroom remodeling?
In most cases, full bathroom remodeling is not covered by Medicare or private insurance. However, some smaller items—such as commodes or seat risers—may be eligible for coverage with a physician’s order depending on your insurance or Medicare supplement plan. Our staff can help you understand your options and provide itemized quotes.
How do I know what modifications I need?
We start with a conversation. Whether in-store or during a home consultation, our team will talk through your concerns, assess your current layout, and help identify the right changes based on your needs, mobility level, and living situation.
Can you work with my existing bathroom, or do I need a full remodel?
In many cases, we can make meaningful improvements without a full gut remodel. Tub cutouts, grab bars, and risers can often be added to existing fixtures, and doorways can sometimes be widened with frame extenders rather than structural changes.
Do you work directly with caregivers or care teams?
Yes. We frequently coordinate with family caregivers, home health aides, physical therapists, and case managers. If someone is helping you navigate your care or home environment, we’re happy to be part of the conversation.
