With their wet floors, narrow doorways, low toilets, slippery showers, and bathtubs, bathrooms can pose a threat to an able bodied person’s safety.
And for those who are disabled and handicapped, the safety risk is even greater. More falls occur in the bathroom than any other room in the home.
At Back Home Safely, we can modify your bathroom to make it safer and more accessible. Our bathroom modifications include:
• Grab Bars – We install grab bars in strategic locations in the bathroom, such as around the tub or shower and beside the toilet and sink. Grab Bars can make maneuvering in the bathroom less challenging and a lot safer.
• Hand Held Showers – We install hand held showers to make bathing easier. Hand held showers are great for those who are in wheelchairs or need to sit while bathing.
• Tub seats and Shower seats – Installing tub or shower seats can make taking a bath or shower safer and more convenient. Tub seats can help with the transition in and out of the bathtub as well as alleviate the need of getting all the way down into the tub.
Shower seats can alleviate having to stand for long periods of time while in the shower.
• Elevated Toilet Seats – We install elevated or raised toilets which add height and comfort to standard low toilets.
• Walk-in or Roll-in Showers – With a walk-in or roll-in shower you are able to maneuver easily into and out of the shower. No threshold means easy access for those in a wheelchair.
Back Home Safely also installs transfer benches, enlarges doorways, extends bathrooms, inspects lighting, ventilation and electrical functions, and will even build a completely new bathroom on a lower level of the home if needed.
