Grab bars are safety devices that allow users to maintain balance, lessen fatigue while standing, hold some of their weight while maneuvering, or have something to grab onto in case of a slip or fall. A care assistant can also use a grab bar for support while transferring a patient from one place to another.
The use of proactive safety precautions as we grow older and face new challenges are a wise investment for your own safety or the safety of ones you love. Falls are the most common accident around the home and can be prevented by installing grab bars in select locations to provide the stability and support required by those with limited mobility. A safety grab bar railing will help maintain balance and provide a safe, accessible tool that reduces fall risk. It's an incredible cost effective modification that will provide you with peace of mind and support.
Common Locations
- Grab bars next to a toilet help people using a wheelchair transfer to the toilet seat and back to the wheelchair. They also assist people who have difficulty sitting down, have balance problems while seated or need help rising from a seated position.
- Used in a shower or bathtub, grab bars help to maintain balance while standing or maneuvering, assist in transferring into and out of the enclosure, and generally help to reduce slips and falls.
