Why these four, in this order
More falls happen in the bathroom than anywhere else in the house, and almost all of them happen in the same four places: getting in, standing up, turning around, and the wet floor afterwards. Fix those four and you have fixed most of the risk.
The four fixes, in the order that matters
- Something to hold, at the point of standing. A grab bar beside the toilet and one inside the shower do more than anything else on this page.
- Somewhere to sit. A shower chair turns the longest standing task of the day into a seated one.
- Traction where the water lands. Non-slip strips or a rubber mat, inside the tub and on the floor outside it.
- Height. A raised toilet seat removes inches from the hardest stand of the day.
