If you or your loved one have mobility issues, the bathroom can pose fall risks, so bathroom safety should be a priority. By making a few simple adjustments, you can reduce the risk of accidents, and we’ve listed three options for you here. 

How to Enhance Bathroom Safety

1. Bath Lift Chair

Renovations to lower tubs can be expensive, so a bath lift chair is a cost-effective alternative. We will install the chair inside your tub, and when you press a button, it easily raises and lowers you using hydraulics. They can even have comfortable inflatable cushions. Some models offer safety features like suction cups to ensure the chair properly grips to the bottom of the tub.

2. Shower Chair

Balance and movement issues also make showering more difficult, so remaining seated while showering reduces the risk of dangerous falls. These chairs are available in a few different configurations, and if you’d like added support, shower chairs are available with backrests. 

3. Raised Toilet Seat

Raised toilet seats are cost-effective solutions, so you don’t have to buy a higher toilet. They greatly reduce the risk of bathroom falls and other injuries because you can get ones with arms for stability. Raised seats can include clamps to ensure they remain securely affixed.
