Bathroom Safety Overview by Graham-Field

Improve Bathroom Safety with Graham-Field Products: Making Bathing Safer and Easier

Did you know that the bathroom is the most dangerous room in the house? According to the CDC and the National Institute on Aging, bathrooms account for 80% of falls nationally, and the risk of bathroom injuries only increases with age. Slippery floors, hard surfaces, and sharp corners are common hazards, but there are practical solutions that can make bathing safer for everyone, especially those with limited mobility.

Tips to Enhance Bathroom Safety:

Grab Bars: Adding grab bars to the shower or bathtub provides extra stability and grip, helping individuals maintain balance and move more confidently. These are a must-have for those who could benefit from additional support.

Bath Seats: For those with balance issues, bath seats offer a safe and comfortable option to rest while showering. Available with or without backrests and arms, these seats also come with non-slip feet to prevent sliding, ensuring a secure and stable shower experience.

Shower Caddy: Limiting unnecessary movement can prevent slips and falls. A shower caddy helps organize all bathing essentials within easy reach, adding convenience and safety to the bathing process.

Raised Toilet Seats and Safety Frames: Standard toilet seats are around 15 inches in height, which can be challenging for those with mobility issues. Raised toilet seats offer additional height and support, while a toilet safety frame provides extra grip surfaces, making it easier to sit and stand safely. This added support can even help improve arm strength over time.
