BATHROOM SAFETY PRODUCTS

We can help prevent falls in the bathroom.

Bathrooms can be a dangerous place for seniors or persons with impaired mobility. The floors are slick, the surfaces are wet, the space is small and everything is hard.

​

Recent studies have shown that for people aged 65 and older, falls account for approximately 60 percent of all injury-related emergency department visits and over 50 percent of injury-related deaths annually. And up to 80 percent of falls in the home occur in the bathroom. These fall-related injuries can range from minor scrapes and bruises to broken bones, head injury and spinal cord injury.
