Bathroom shower grab bars 8 Feet

Bathroom shower grab bars 8."

Grab bars are one of the most straightforward and affordable home modifications and a must-have for anyone who wishes to age in place. Bathrooms are a high-risk area when it comes to falls. Grab bars can provide seniors with added stability and increased safety during toileting and bathing. Regarding height, there is generally no mandated height requirement for grab bars; select a size that feels comfortable and secure for the person using them. For example, a petite woman may benefit from bars placed much lower than a tall man would find helpful. If the bars are not set in ideal spots, they are not likely to be used and may cause more awkwardness and instability. STURDY AND ATTRACTIVE: This grab bar rail is made of durable stainless steel construction; the stainless steel grab bar is corrosion-resistant for exceptional durability and supports up to 200 pounds. VERY SIMPLE INSTALLATION: We have designed this product for your convenience. Before installation, it can be helpful to go through one's bathroom routine to see where one naturally reaches for extra support. This is especially important in transfer situations, such as sitting down and rising from the toilet and shower seat, entering and exiting the shower or tub, and going from sitting to standing. Even if a person is physically capable of executing their routine without assistance, completing this exercise as if feeling tired, weak, or dizzy can yield valuable results. Another option is working with an occupational therapist (OT) who can conduct an assessment and develop a personalized home modification plan that improves both safety and functionality.
