VA Grants for Accessible Bathroom Solutions from Michael’s Baths

At Michael‘s Baths, we understand how challenging it can be for disabled veterans to find the right bathing solution. That‘s why we are proud to offer the highest quality walk–in tubs specifically designed for disabled veterans. Plus, you may qualify for a VA Home Modification Grant to help you purchase and install your walk–in bathtub.

We have provided detailed information on the three programs and the necessary links to start the application process, so you can get the bathing solution that best fits your needs.

The VA Offers 3 Grant Programs:
