I got something similar where my mom could sit down on the outside of the tub and it swiveled for her to get to the inside of the tub. Medicare paid for it. Got it at a medical supply place. Prior to that, I had the one similar to those pictured above, but eventually, she didn't feel comfortable trying to step into the tub. (She was in her early 90s).

Ford: Sounds very nice! No wonder that you would like to stay there. I would, too! I'm sure that all will be repaired/remedied well. After all, water standing on the wood structure, etc., isn't good for the building. Rotting wood (dry rot, etc.). They are saving themselves a lot of money in the long run by now repairing this problem with your shower.

If you have hired a hygienist, find out what his fee is. I believe we pay about $1500 or so for a report.

Krimpette: Once your mom was swiveled into the tub, were you able to lower her (with a crank handle-knob, etc.) into the tub/water? Just curious.

A mold specialist with charge well under that to take air and surface samples. It cost my brother around $250.

No. I have a hand-held shower in that tub and that's what she used.

Geez Ford, if it wasn't for bad luck, you would have no luck at all. I certainly hope this is sorted out promptly and that you and your family don't have to go through anymore hardships. You certainly deserve some peace and happiness with no worries.

I would definitely call the health dept. in your area. Some molds are lethal.

Ford, I had to do this to get out of a lease. Third party's can be hard to find. I ended up calling Service master and they brought in a specialist from Atlanta to my small town. They measure the outside air and the inside air and send the samples to a independent lab which will tell you what kind of mold you have and the concentrations. Get our before it harms your health. You may get them to comp your move.

It may differ in areas. The testing we have done is thorough and does include a protocol and clearance test after remediation.
