Bathroom Safety Tips

It is no secret that the bathroom is one of the most dangerous rooms in the home. Think about it--your bathroom is full of slippery surfaces. Below are some tips on how to increase the safety of your bathroom.

• Toss out your throw rugs. They are the number one cause of bathroom trip and fall accidents.
• Add nonslip mats to your tub or shower.
• Be sure to keep the bathroom floor dry. If you spill water on the floor, clean it up immediately.
• Light fixtures are an overlooked yet important feature of your bathroom. Make sure that your bathroom has adequate lighting. 
• Have grab bars installed in the tub or shower. It will help you get your balance when you are bathing.
• Add a seat to the shower. That way, you can bathe while sitting down.
