One in three seniors over the age of 65 suffer a fall every year, according to research, with 80% of these accidents happening in the bathroom. Bathroom safety can be easily created by installing essential bathroom accessories to combat slippery surfaces. Grab bars, handrails, bath lifts, transfer boards, raised toilet seats, and shower chairs can make turn a hazardous bathroom into a safe and easy space for seniors or people with physical disabilities.
