The bathroom can be a dangerous place, especially for elderly and disabled individuals. Fortunately, bathroom safety products can improve this situation. In showers, sturdy grab bars, tub rails, anti-slip mats and shower benches help to prevent accidents. A walk-in tub or a shower with a frameless door makes personal care much easier for those who find a standard tub or shower to be too physically challenging. A raised toilet, or a toilet frame to provide additional support, will improve safety and ease of use.
Products such as these can be added discretely to the bathroom, retaining the bathroom’s appearance while increasing its safety factor. Adding safety features to the bathroom can also increase the value of a home, making it more attractive to elderly or disabled buyers. It does not require a lot of time, effort or money in order to greatly improve the safety of a bathroom.
