In the shower or tub grab bars, or I prefer to call them “safety bars” or “balance bars” are there to assist in helping you maintain your balance while bathing, showering, as well as, entering and exiting. Well placed safety bars can help you maintain your balance and reduce the risk of falling.
Balance bars are some of the most important safety items in many areas of the home, such as, toilet area, bathtubs, showers, kitchens, doorways, at elevation changes and are available in many styles, colors and materials.
INSTALL these items BEFORE you need them: When you reach for a grab bar you want it solidly installed to catch your balance breaking your fall rather than breaking your bones.
Install these devices before you you have young, older and physically challenged guests to make for a much more enjoyable visit.
Installing them in the homes of seniors is a relatively inexpensive and very important part of making the home safe for them to remain in as they age. The alternative is not just spend days in the hospital but the increased needs for assistance during rehab .
