As seniors age or undergo rehabilitation, preventing falls becomes a common concern. Implementing effective strategies within the home can significantly reduce fall risks and enhance safety. Grab bars and rails play a pivotal role in providing support and stability for seniors, particularly in high-risk areas such as bathrooms, bathtub and toilet areas, and other parts of the home.
Enhancing Tub and Shower Safety with Grab Bars
Installing grab bars for bathroom spaces, including inside and outside the tub or shower, is crucial for helping seniors safely step in and out of these areas. Inside the shower, angled grab bars provide dual functionality by assisting in standing and providing safety during bathing.
Safe Toilet Use with Grab Bars
Toilet grab bars assist seniors in sitting down and standing up from the toilet, reducing the risk of falls and providing stability during position changes. We offer hinged grab bars that can fold out of the way when not in use. These grab bars can be installed on either side of the toilet or on both sides. Coated with Antimicrobial AphaSan® for peace of mind, the toilet grab bars also have SafetyGrip® textured surfaces that enhance balance and increase independence for daily bathroom routines.
Bedside Rails
Rails positioned near beds offer additional safety and support. Bedside rails facilitate getting in and out of bed, repositioning, and transitioning from sitting to standing, promoting independence and preventing accidents.
