Bathroom Modifications and Remodeling

Whether due to aging, illness or disability, when bathrooms need to be modified to reduce barriers for the safety and comfort of those at home — Home Safe Homes can help. Our professionals can advise you on handrails and other equipment to modify your bathroom to ensure maximum safety and independence.

• Roll-in showers
• Walk-in tubs
• Grab bars

Consider these safety tips to reduce falls in the bathroom:

• Ensure shower doors are made of safety glass or replace with a shower curtain.
• Take extra care when on a wet surface. Slip-resistant flooring is recommended for bathrooms, such as paint-on applications or self-adhesive non-slip strips.
• Handrails are recommended in all positions around the bath and toilet. Never use a towel rail to support body weight.
• Hand-held shower hoses are a good idea, as are shower chairs or bath seats when mobility or balance is in question.
