5 Bathroom Upgrades for Aging in Place
The bathroom is where many falls at home happen. These upgrades help you stay safe and independent without making the room feel clinical.
1. Low-threshold shower base
Removing the step into the shower is the single biggest safety improvement for most homes.
2. Grab bars
Today's grab bars come in designer finishes that match your faucets and towel bars.
3. Built-in or fold-down seating
A seat makes showering easier and safer, especially for people with balance concerns.
4. Handheld shower
A handheld head on a slide bar works for every height and seated bathing.
5. Slip-resistant surfaces
Textured shower floors provide grip without being hard to clean.
