Guarding Against Falls at Home
Falls are the leading cause of death and injury for adults 65+. Grab bars and hand railings should be the senior’s first line of defense against falling. Oftentimes fails are the result of slipping or poor balance problems. Having something solid to hold or grab onto can help avoid serious injuries.
Safety bars are not limited to just bathtub or shower areas. Sometimes we place them to assist getting off the toilet or in door jambs for stepping into the home or on walls leading to a sunken family room.
Nor can we ignore the importance of stair railings both inside and outside the home. For those who may have lost strength in one of their arms, the placement of a rail on the opposite wall will provide a sense of security while climbing or descending the stairs.
Since 2005, we’ve installed grab bars for various County Departments on Aging and homeowners alike. Call and let our years of counseling and installation guide you as to where safety bars can help you (or your loved one) live more safely and independently.
