Checking for Safety
One of the most dangerous rooms in the house for Seniors is often the bathroom. To maximize bathroom safety, follow these simple yet very effective tips.
Here's a checklist that will help you get started fall-proofing your bathrooms:
* Does your elderly parent tend to use the towel rack near the bathtub for support when climbing into or out of the tub?
* Does water get onto the floor after the bathtub or shower is used?
* Is the shower stall floor or the bathtub slippery?
* Are towels, soap and shampoo within easy reach?
* Does your parent have difficulty sitting on or rising from the toilet?
* Is there a nightlight that illuminates the path from bedroom to bathroom?
* Is there a nightlight in the bathroom?

What You Can Do
* Purchase and securely anchor grab bars for use in and around the shower, bathtub or toilet. Don't just nail into the drywall – find a 2x4 and use solid screws to anchor into place. Then, test them for strength and stability. When the floor is dry, test the grab bars by hanging from them, as if you were really falling. They should not budge
Consider purchasing a raised toilet seat to make it easier to access toileting needs.
* Consider upgrading your traditional bath tub to a Walk in Bath tub which is safer and easier to access.
* Place non-skid mats and decals on the floor of a shower stall or bathtub, as well as on the floor in front of the tub or shower stall.

Plumbing Tip

Leaks occur when seals inside the faucet become dirty or worn. Though you may choose to replace worn parts, replacing your old faucet with a new one can upgrade the look of your kitchen, bathroom or tub/shower decor and avoid further repair problems.
