Living in Place Institute says that falls are the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries among older adults. A way to mitigate this is to ensure your parent’s home is comfortable and safe as they advance in years. Here are a few stylish ways to increase comfort in the bathroom.
Tiled Textured Floors
An unpolished textured floor is the safest floor for a shower base. Tactile contact and grip can be increased with actual stone pebbles.
Roll In Shower
Another way to create convenience is to plan to have a roll in shower with no curb to trip on.
Stylish Support
Don’t forget the shower grab bar. It improves comfort and helps to prevent falls. The bar comes in many designs and can double serve as a towel holder.
