Falls are devastating to the elderly, and many falls happen in the bathroom. (Listen to this quick report on falls in the bathroom from the US Department of Health and Human Services.)
Luckily there are many devices you can use to make the bathroom safer: grab bars, shower benches, commode rails, and more. Â Thanks to Tina Ross from Simple Comforts in Charlottesville VA for showing them to us!
See more of our videos of supplies for independent living, including mobility devices, cushions, lift chairs, and devices for easily getting in and out of vehicles.
