Are your hospital bathrooms putting providers and patients at risk? Many traditional designs contribute to falls and infections. Learn how Bestbath’s® seamless, slip-resistant, and antimicrobial showers enhance safety, hygiene, and long-term durability.
Falls are a leading cause of injury in hospitals, with inpatient fall rates ranging from 3.3 to 11.5 per 1,000 patient days, and 25% of these result in injuries. Many occur in bathrooms, where wet floors and poor accessibility increase risks.
Infection control is another challenge. 1 in 31 hospital patients has a healthcare-associated infection (HAI) at any given time. Bathrooms with tile and grout can harbor bacteria, making sanitation more difficult.
Bestbath’s solutions tackle these risks head-on, providing healthcare facilities with safer, more durable, and easy-to-maintain showers.
Seamless, Non-Porous Design for Infection Control
Tile-and-grout showers create breeding grounds for bacteria, requiring frequent deep cleaning. Bestbath’s seamless, non-porous composite showers eliminate grout lines, making sanitation easier and reducing bacterial growth.
Antimicrobial Protection
With infection control placing a heavy financial burden on hospitals, investing in sanitary, easy-to-clean surfaces is essential. Bestbath’s antimicrobial shower surfaces reduce bacteria buildup, improving safety for both patients and staff.
Preventing Falls with Slip-Resistant Flooring and Safety Features
Bathroom falls are a major risk, especially for older adults. The CDC reports that in 2008, 234,094 nonfatal bathroom injuries occurred among individuals aged 15 and older, with 80% caused by falls.
Bestbath integrates slip-resistant flooring into its healthcare showers, improving stability for both patients and caregivers.
Accessibility and Bariatric Support
Bestbath’s ADA-compliant, barrier-free designs provide safer, more accessible bathing solutions. Features include:
- Roll-in and transfer showers for wheelchair users
- Custom grab bar placement for improved patient support
- Bariatric-rated options for added strength and stability
Heavy-Duty Materials for Long-Term Performance
Hospital showers endure constant use, strong cleaning agents, and mobility equipment, making durability a key concern.
Unlike traditional tile systems that require frequent upkeep, Bestbath’s reinforced composite showers resist chipping, cracking, and staining—ensuring long-term performance with minimal maintenance.
Factory-Installed Wall Reinforcement for Adaptability
As patient needs evolve, hospitals must adapt their spaces. Bestbath showers include factory-installed wall reinforcement, allowing facilities to add grab bars or safety features without additional remodeling costs.

Hospital renovations must minimize patient disruption. Bestbath’s pre-fabricated shower units allow for quick installation, reducing labor costs and downtime.

Faster installation enables quicker room turnover, optimizing hospital efficiency while maintaining high safety standards.
