Soon we’ll be wrapping up February - but before we do - it’s time for another newsletter! 💚

We are thrilled to share some of our best blogs regarding bathroom safety and a newsworthy award nomination in this edition of the Home Healthsmith Newsletter! 

Let’s dive in!



Did you know more than two-thirds of home injury-related ER visits originate around the shower, bathtub, or toilet? 

For seniors aged 65 years or more, falls have proven to be the leading cause of injury, many of which occur in slippery bathroom spaces.

Check out our latest blog, Aging-In-Place Bathroom Design Ideas, to explore some ways you can plan a new bathroom or bathroom remodel for aging-in-home seniors, and how Home Healthsmith (HHS) can help.

Fun fact: In a recent Canadian national survey about consumer perspectives on grab bars, nearly 86% of respondents said they would use a grab bar if it were installed in their bathroom.

Why? Because they know they are helpful! 

The added support offered by grab bars is also prompting some government officials to consider policies that would require bathroom grab bar installation in the home. 

If you’ve considered grab bars or think your safety could benefit from them, this blog is for you!
