Bathroom Safety
Bathroom safety is part of home safety especially for older adults and those with mobility issues. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), falls are the leading cause of injury and death among older adults and the bathroom is one of the most common places where falls occur. Installing safety handles and rails in the bathroom can greatly reduce the risk of falls and injuries. These safety features provide extra support and stability so you can move around the bathroom with confidence and independence.
