Bathrooms can be a dangerous location for anyone, startling amounts of people are injured each year due to bathroom slips/falls. Unfortunately, this risk rises for aging population or persons with a disability. Studies show that up to 80% of in-home falls take place in the bathroom. Many of these falls take place in the shower, but a considerable amount of them take place when using the toilet. The low height placement of most toilet seats can make it difficult to maintain strength or balance while lowering to or raising from a toilet. Luckily there are a few toilet-area modifications that can be made in your home!
