About this project.

A publication that earns reader trust where most options have not.

The accessible-bathroom-remodeling topic is dominated by contractor blogs written to convert leads, not to help a family plan well. Readers researching ADA dimensions, funding pathways, and product specifications often land on sources written to capture leads rather than to inform decisions.

AccessibleBathGuide.com exists to fill that gap. Articles are researched and drafted from primary sources — the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design, AOTA practice guidance, federal-agency program documentation (VA, Medicaid, Medicare, HUD), peer-reviewed clinical literature, and recognized industry standards (ANSI, ICC, NAR/NARI). Where a reader's situation involves complex clinical considerations, our content routes them to an in-home occupational therapist evaluation rather than positioning the site as a substitute for one.

The intent is a publication that earns reader trust in a category where most existing options have not.

The rules the publication operates by.

• Source citations to ADA Standards, AOTA position papers, and primary regulatory documents — not contractor blogs or product marketing.
• FTC-compliant disclosure on every page that carries an affiliate link or sponsored placement.
• No paid placement, sponsored editorial, or compensation from contractors or manufacturers in exchange for editorial coverage.
• Update cadence: every article reviewed and refreshed at minimum once every twelve months.

Read the full editorial standards for sourcing, disclosure, and review cadence in detail.

The site is not a contractor directory, not a CAPS-credential listing site, and not a walk-in-tub franchise affiliate. The find-a-contractor functionality, when it launches, will be a single nationally consistent layer — not a thicket of per-city pages.

For homeowners and family caregivers.

The published library will cover codes and dimensions (the ADA-derived numbers, in plain language); project planning (sequencing, scope, what to decide first); cost guides (real ranges, real trade-offs, no "starting at" pricing fiction); product reviews (grab bars, walk-in showers, faucets, lighting, flooring); and condition-specific design guides (post-stroke recovery, Parkinson's, low vision, wheelchair use, balance and falls). The find-a-contractor layer launches alongside the content, not before it.

The advisory role, in detail.

Paid editorial work, not unpaid "expert review" in the academic sense. Two compensation structures are available — per-article and monthly retainer — depending on the volume the therapist wants to take on. Specific rates are shared during the application conversation.

To apply, email contact@accessiblebathguide.com with a brief introduction, your OTR/L credentials, and any home-modification or accessibility specialty work you've done. A one-paragraph note is enough; CVs are welcome but not required.

A note for accessibility-focused remodelers.

The site is in editorial-build phase. The find-a-contractor layer will launch later in the project's timeline; at that point, accessibility-positioned contractors will have an opportunity to be evaluated for inclusion in the lead-routing system. Walk-in-tub franchises and general remodelers without an accessibility focus will not be included.

Contractors who would like to be considered when that phase opens can email contact@accessiblebathguide.com. There is no waiting list and no fee; the email registers interest so the editorial team can reach out when evaluation begins.
