Save money by avoiding common accidents and costly hospital bills in the future

Safety is within reach in the bathroom. One in three seniors will fall this year. 60% of those falls will occur in the home and the worst news is that falls are the leading cause of injury deaths. This is not good news for those of us with aging parents or those who are part of the Baby Boomer Generation

The statistics are scary enough, especially considering the fact that the bathroom has been deemed the most dangerous room in the home. What can we do to improve the safety in this most frequently visited room?

Safety Grab Bars are widely used in the hospital and hotel industries, due to the liability resulting in falls occurring in bathrooms. Safety Grab Bars properly installed in or around the bathtub or shower can greatly reduce the potential for a slip and fall injury. Another statistic that is alarming is that 66% of people over 50 who do fall down, will do so again within 6 months. Safety Grab Bars are more than just the bar itself and most of them are similar in structure and design. What the industry was challenged with was how to insure that the brackets or hanging device would support a person’s weight and not pull out of the wall.

Too many installers simply look for the wall stud and mount the Safety Grab Bar with long screws or use plastic inserts that are strategically placed into the wall, hoping the anchors will hold when needed. This is not the recommended method, nor is it building code approved.
