Bathroom Safety and Grab Bars

Bathrooms are one of the most common places for falls. Thoughtful safety improvements can make bathing, toileting and moving through the room easier and more secure.

Common Safety Improvements

Professionally installed grab bars, nonslip flooring, brighter lighting, shower seating, raised toilet options and easier-to-reach controls can address common risks.

Where Grab Bars May Help

Placement often matters near toilets, tub entrances and inside showers. A qualified installer should evaluate wall construction and the user’s balance and movement patterns.

Choosing the Right Provider

Ask about experience with aging-in-place projects, insurance, installation methods, product warranties, wall reinforcement and whether permits are required.

Planning for Changing Needs

Consider whether a small improvement will be enough or whether a curbless shower, wider doorway or more complete bathroom renovation may be appropriate.

Costs and Estimates

Pricing varies based on the product, wall construction, labor and the extent of remodeling. Obtain a written estimate describing materials, installation and warranty terms.

Before Work Begins

Confirm the scope, timeline, payment schedule, cleanup responsibilities and who will handle permits or inspections when applicable.
