Bathrooms are one of the most hazardous spaces in the home for older adults. Slippery floors, tight layouts, and the need to step in and out of tubs create daily risks that are easy to underestimate. Many well-meaning safety guides highlight these dangers and offer sensible recommendations, but they often stay at a surface level.
In many cases, readers are told to install grab bars or consider bathing aids, but without specific guidance onĀ mobility aids, they are left to figure out the details on their own. This gap between advice and action can leave caregivers uncertain, overwhelmed, and unsure whether they are making the right choices for their loved ones. Turning guidance into practical steps is where real safety improvements begin.
