Safety

Is Your Bathroom Safe & Accessible?

Home bathrooms often need adaptation if an elderly or disabled person wants to stay at home and remain independent. Ensuring bathroom access and safety may also require room adaptations.

Falls are the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries in people 65 or older in the United States. Many falls occur when people get in or out of the tub. BATH FIXER specializes in made-to-measure shower bases, shower walls and custom barrier free units. We can also remove your old tub and replace it with an easy to enter acrylic shower base.  Many safety options such as those described below can be added to of our systems:

  • Grab bars around the bathtub or shower are a necessity for safety.  Grab bars are useful when getting in and out of the tub or shower from a standing position and when lowering or raising the body to or from a seated position.  Our grab bars are anchored into reinforced backing and positioned to help the bather enter and exit the tub or shower. Best of all they will be custom placed where they will be most beneficial to you. Grab bars are offered in stainless steel, chrome or matching acrylic.
  • A Shower seat can be of great help if standing in the tub or shower is difficult or impossible. A variety of molded-in, stationary or adjustable fold-up seats are available.
  • An adjustable hand-held shower is almost a necessity when using a shower seat to help direct the flow of water. Hand held showers, with or without a slide bar, offer convenience for the seated and standing bather.
  • A Non-skid surface can be applied to the bottom of any tub or shower to prevent slipping.
  • The standard height of toilet seats create a problem for many people, especially those with arthritis, hip, knee or back problems.  The higher the toilet seat the better leverage you will have in regaining a standing position.

All these products help the customer with impaired mobility maintain or regain as much self-sufficiency as possible in their homes.
