80% of Falls Occur in the Bathroom: Reduce Your Risk Today
Showers and tubs are slippery places by nature and thousands of unnecessary falls happen there each year – both to seniors as well as younger people. For that reason, we encourage everyone, old and young, to consider adding grab bars to their shower.
Not only can you use grab bars in showers, but you can also have them installed near your toilet, just outside your shower or tub, or anywhere else you need a little extra stability. Pair grab bars with tub cut-outs for easier entry and exit.
We can help – ask us for a free bathroom fall prevention evaluation.
Areas to place grab bars in the bathroom:
✓ Shower/Tub (may need multiple)
✓ Near toilet
✓ Just outside shower/tub, for stepping in and out
✓ Anywhere else you need a little more support
Don't Forget the Rest of Your Home
Don’t stop at your bathroom – falls happen in all areas of the home. Consider the problem areas in your home – especially in places where there are elevation changes, like a step between a living area and kitchen.
Other places to consider grab bars or handrail:
✓ Landings
✓ Steps between rooms
✓ Near doorways
✓ Steps leading to a porch or deck
✓ Garage steps
✓ Near a stairlift
Grab Bar Myth Busted: They Don't Have to Be Ugly
