Adding a grab bar to your bathroom may provide the support and stability you need. These bathroom tools can be especially helpful for anyone who relies on a wheelchair or other mobility assistance, but they can also be useful for anyone with balance issues, fatigue or aging joints. There are plenty of helpful places to install grab bars, including near the toilet, in the shower or next to the tub.
Toilet safety rails can also help you maintain a sense of privacy and continue living independently when you have mobility challenges. They can also provide crucial support if you’re moving with the assistance of a family member or healthcare worker because they reduce the amount of weight that the other person may need to support while stabilizing you.
It’s important to follow all directions completely when installing grab bars and rails. Take note that some grab bars are designed to be used with specific bathroom fixtures or on particular surfaces.
