Believe or not, the benefit of grab bar installation in your home is not only for people above 65 or those with disabilities but is also critical for people of all ages. A disastrous fall in the shower, and the string of events that ensue can have a great impact on anyone and everyone. The installation of bathroom grab bars into your tub or shower can add security and enable you to be independent throughout your bathroom. An unanticipated fall can occur without warning, specifically in a setting such as the bathroom, where a wet tiled floor is commonplace. It goes without saying that the importance of taking every possible step towards a safer bathroom is critical in preventing a fall that could lead to mobility issues and disabilities in the future.
Bathroom Grab Bars Should Be Installed Strategically
Bathroom grab bars are frequently placed in the shower and adjacent to the toilet or commode for both security and support. Recently grab bars have become available in more decorative and multifunctional styles that can be strategically placed to fulfill the roles of towel bars as well as safety devices throughout the bathroom.Howard Cohen, a grab bar installation specialist and licensed physical therapist for Mr. Grab Bar of Sarasota tells us that "he has often removed existing towel bars and replaced them with decorative bathroom grab bars in finishes that would coordinate with the existing bathroom accessories". In doing so an increased level of security and safety can be achieved in the bathroom while at the same time providing a non-obtrusive look that is pleasing to the eyes. "A conventional towel bar which is typically weak and inadequately anchored is in my opinion an invitation to disaster" says Howard. He goes further by telling us that "It is the most likely place for one to grab for support or assistance when it is suddenly required, and it is also very likely to fail with the application of only a minimal level of force applied".
