A lot of seniors and elderly choose to stay home more as they age. Although home can often feel safe, letting your guard down and a fall might happen. The bathroom is especially dangerous for the elderly with the combination of water, slick floors, and hard surfaces. Therefore, it needs to be one of the areas to focus on when trying to keep seniors safe at home. For example, elevating the toilet seat so it makes “sitting and standing less of a strain“. Use a nightlight for the nighttime, and add a non-slip mat in the bathtub, shower, and surrounding floor areas. In addition, installing heavy-duty grab bars near toilets and showers can provide leverage to stand up as well as something to hold on to in case of a fall. Falling is no small matter, so follow the recommendation above and ensure the safety of your aging loved ones.
