Leading Through Innovation and Excellence in Senior Care Bathing Solutions

For over 40 years, Apollo Bath has remained dedicated to setting the standard in senior care bathing solutions. Unlike competitors who have diversified or exited the market, Apollo Bath has consistently focused on creating exceptional bathing experiences tailored specifically for senior living and healthcare environments.

 

Apollo Bath’s Competitive Edge

In a shifting market landscape, Apollo Bath distinguishes itself through unwavering commitment and specialized expertise. While competitors like Arjo have expanded into broader categories and moved their manufacturing overseas, Apollo Bath remains deeply rooted in senior care, with all products proudly made in the USA. Penner Bath, another competitor, has redirected its focus toward residential walk-in tubs, further narrowing the field.

Apollo Bath’s longevity and specialization allow us to continuously refine and perfect our products, ensuring they are tailored specifically to the needs of our clients. Our deep understanding of the senior care market, combined with our dedication to maintaining the highest standards of safety, accessibility, and innovation, positions us uniquely as the go-to provider for senior care bathing solutions.

 

Product Innovations: The Advantage™ Spa End-Entry Seated Bathing System

At Apollo Bath, we believe that true innovation comes from listening to our customers and understanding their pain points. Our ongoing “Tell Us Where It Hurts” campaign directly engages users to share feedback, which in turn drives our product development. This customer-centric approach is evident in the latest updates to our Advantage Spa End-Entry Seated Bathing System. These improvements reflect Apollo Bath’s commitment to continuously enhancing the safety, accessibility, and overall user experience of its bathing systems. By integrating feedback from users and maintaining a focus on senior care needs, Apollo Bath continues to set the standard in the industry.
