VA HISA Grant Tub to Shower Conversion for Military Veterans

Tub to shower conversions with your VA HISA grant

The VA (Veterans Affairs) HISA grant gives military veterans up to $6,800 to make their home safer. For a lot of vets that starts in the bathroom. Climbing over a tub wall gets hard after an injury, and it's easy to fall. A shower with grab bars, a seat and a handheld shower head fixes that.

Here's the problem. Veterans tell me the big remodeling companies quote them around $20,000 for the same job, and the grant gives up to $6,800. That gap leaves a lot of disabled veterans stuck, or paying way more than they should.

I'm happy to help. I'm a local owner, not a big chain. I'll come look at your bathroom, tell you what you need, and put one clear price in writing. If it costs more than the grant, I'll tell you up front and we'll talk through your options.

The HISA grant gives up to $6,800, and the exact amount depends on your VA eligibility. Your final price depends on your bathroom and what you need.

A real shower with everything veterans ask for

This is a real shower we built. It has two grab bars, a fold down seat, a handheld shower head on a slide bar and no door. The floor has a low step in, and the walls are smooth acrylic that's easy to wipe clean.

• Grab bars mounted into solid wood behind the wall, right where you need them.
• Fold down seat so you can sit to wash and rest.
• No door. The HISA grant doesn't allow shower doors, so the entry stays open and easy to get into.
• Handheld shower head you can take off the wall and hold while you sit.
• Low step in and a floor that won't slip, with acrylic walls that are easy to clean.

How the VA HISA grant process works for military veterans

1. Talk to your VA provider. The VA needs to know why you need the change. Your VA prosthetics office can walk you through it.
2. Book a free visit with me. I'll measure your bathroom and we'll talk about what you need.
3. Get a written estimate. You get one clear price and a list of the work to send in with your application.
4. Send it to the VA. They review your request and decide on the grant.
5. I do the install. Most jobs take 1 to 2 days and come with a written warranty on the work.

Veterans Affairs makes every decision about who qualifies and what it pays, and the rules can change. Start with the VA's housing grants page or call your VA prosthetics office.
