Part of the Thriving at Home approach that we follow at Assisting Hands is making the house as safe as it can be. Our primary goal is to prevent falls in the home, which are distressingly common and can cause serious consequences. There are several steps we can take to reduce the chances of an emergency trip to the hospital from a fall.<\/p>\n
Properly installed grab bars in the bathroom are a powerful way to ensure safety. Grab bars should ideally be mounted next to the toilet and both inside and outside the tub or shower. This is a project that really requires a professional because the bars must be mounted into wall studs to guarantee strength. You can choose from a number of different styles to make sure the bars don\u2019t clash with the existing fittings and d\u00e9cor in your bathroom. Hiring an experienced professional will also help ensure that this project improves both the design and functionality of your bathroom.<\/p>\n
On average, one in five falls causes a serious injury. Don\u2019t let that one be you or your loved one!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
