Pretty bathrooms can hide BIG fall risks. 👀
As a Doctor of Occupational Therapy, when I walk into a bathroom, I’m not just looking at the beautiful fixtures. I’m looking at how safely someone can move through the space.
That decorative runner? Potential trip hazard.
That beautiful tub? How safely can someone get in and out?
The shower? Is there a secure place to hold on? Is the floor slippery?
The lighting? Can someone safely navigate the bathroom during a nighttime trip?
I love a beautiful home. But I love a home that allows you to stay independent even more.
Your home should support your independence, not put it at risk.
Don’t wait for a fall to start looking around.
Save this and take a second look at your bathroom.
