When it comes to aging in place, kitchens and bathrooms are two of the most dangerous areas of the home.

Most of us spend a considerable amount of time in these rooms, and both of these rooms have multiple water sources, including  faucets. As a result, there is a high propensity for wet floors. And because carpeting is atypical for these rooms, the flooring is usually hard, leaving very little cushioning in the event of falls. In an effort to address this issue, many people like to use throw rugs in front of sinks, tubs, or showers, but using substandard products can increase the likelihood of slips, trips, and falls.
