Why You Need Grab Bars in The Bathroom

What Are Grab Bars?

Grab bars are safety devices designed to enable a person to maintain balance, lessen fatigue while standing, or have something to grab onto in case of a slip or fall.

A caregiver may use a grab bar to assist with transferring a patient from one place to another.

Do I Really Need a Grab Bar?

Falls­ - the no.1 problem that most often occurred in or around the bathtub, shower, or toilet.

Besides, falls are the leading cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries, such as hip fractures among adults aged 65 and older. Seniors are more likely to be injured getting on or off the toilet.
