When making needed improvements for the safety of seniors wanting to age in place, the bathroom is the place to start. A few key additions can greatly reduce the number of falls and other accidents. Among the most important items are grab bars that make getting in and out of the tub or the shower more secure. A specially-designed grab bar can also make it easier to get on and off the toilet. A raised toilet seat or a commode with a self-powered lifting mechanism, which can be used over a regular toilet, can be a great help for people who have trouble bending as well as getting up. Other smart bathroom products designed for the shower or tub are water-safe chairs and benches. A transfer bench that goes over and inside the tub makes it possible to sit on one edge and swivel legs into the tub for bathing. A great advantage to many of these bathroom safety products is that they often can fold up and be moved to the side when other family members need to use the facilities.
