Protect yourself or loved ones from a shower fall before it happens
Most seniors want to keep their dignity and independence as they age- making the aging in place option preferable to moving to a senior center. But the environment is unsafe and could lead to falls and injuries if it’s not redesigned.
Bathroom and shower injuries increase with age, most commonly for adults 65+. The motions of stepping in and out of the tub and shower combo. Even more so when you add in wet & slippery surface.
The National Aging in Place Council suggests that eliminating an old tub and shower combo to a walk-in shower will significantly reduce slip & fall-related injuries. Below are four additional bathroom modifications that are designed to address safety concerns.

Professional Recommendation: Crucial Bathroom Modifications for Seniors
Be proactive and prevent a fall. Your concern for your parents’ safety is caring and realistic. One in four Americans aged 65+ fall each year. One report states that 80% of these occur in the bathroom.
Keep reading to see how these 6 updates can make the bathroom more accessible and safe for seniors.
1. Convert Your Tub to a Walk-In Shower
Having to step six inches or more inches over the side of the tub becomes increasingly harder as we age. This high step causes instability and a possible misstep on a slippery surface.
A zero-threshold shower is a shower that has no curb; meaning, a wheelchair or walker can easily slide into the shower. The floor slopes down to prevent hazardous puddles of water from forming.
2. Slip Resistant Tile Flooring
3. Grab Bars Provides Extra Stability and Leverage
Grab bars are easy to install and provides a great deal of confidence and stability to its users. When added to showers and tubs these bars offer additional support while bathing, crucial for wet surfaces. Placed around the toilet they can also assist in getting up and sitting down.
4. Install A Transfer Bench
For those in a wheelchair, our contractors have professional experience installing ADA compliant bathrooms. A transfer bench makes getting in and out of your wheelchair safer and easier. It’s built into your new shower and customized to your desire.
5. Handheld, Sliding Shower Heads
