Bathroom Safety Products Can Help Prevent Accidents and Injuries

According to the National Institute on Aging, 80% of the falls that seniors age 65 years old and older experience are in the bathroom. The bathroom can seem like it is a safe room in your home, but it is full of hazards and dangers. So in order to make your bathroom a safer place to be, AbleMart sells a variety of bathroom safety products for Harrisburg homes. 

Bathroom safety products can make your tub, shower, toilet and bathroom floor safer. There are a variety of these products available for sale at our website. In the meantime, here are a few interesting statistics on bathroom safety and how bathroom safety products can help.

Every year, about 235,000 people slip and fall in the bathroom and injure themselves, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Bathroom safety products like shower and commode chairs, grab bars, non-slip treads and more can help decrease the risk of falling and sustaining an injury.

Did you know that women are more likely to slip and fall in the bathroom than men? There are a few theories as to why this is the case. For one thing, women tend to have less lower body strength than men, and women tend to be a bit less physically active than men. Plus, women tend to have a lower bone mass than men, especially as they age. One of the biggest problems people can experience in the bathroom is getting safely in and out of the tub or safely on and off of the toilet. Bathroom safety products like grab bars and shower and commode chairs can help with this and can help decrease the chance of slipping and falling.

Two-thirds of bathroom injuries occur while the person is in the shower or tub. So this means that a shower or bathroom chair and non-slip bathtub treads can be a huge help. These are a few of our most popular bathroom safety products, and we have several different kinds that will match your bathroom’s décor and not detract from its aesthetics.

Also, getting injured while getting on and off of the toilet is a problem too. Bathroom safety products like grab bars can help with this. And they can be installed quite easily, which means no need for any major renovation work.

Safety Tips for the Toilet

For the elderly or disabled, going to the bathroom can be tricky sometimes. AbleMart sells independent living products that make going to the toilet safer and easier. Toilet safety is a big issue, so here are a few suggestions on how to make going to the bathroom as risk free as possible.

1. Your water heater should be set to about 120 degrees F. Warm water will still be available but it is not so hot that it could burn or scald you, especially if you have sensitivity issues due to medical conditions or medications.

2. Make sure a loved one or caregiver is nearby when you go to the bathroom. If you want to lock the door, make sure it can be easily unlocked from the outside too, just in case you fall or if you need assistance. 

3. We carry many different toilet safety devices, like non-slip rugs, grab bars, commode chairs, shower seats, organizers and more. These toilet safety products can help make going to the bathroom and taking care of hygiene necessities easier on you.

4. Your bathroom should have plenty of light so it is easy for you to see and get around. You can also buy a motion-sensor nightlight so you don't have to turn on a bright overhead light when you want to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. That way, you can still see what you are doing, but you don't have to turn on a bright light.

5. The items you use the most should be kept within easy reach so you don't have to dig too much to find what you need. Plus, keeping them close at hand means you don't have to reach for them. 

6. A raised commode chair and non-slip rugs can really help improve the safety of your bathroom. Definitely consider these two items when you are looking for products to help improve the toilet safety at your home.
