As the American population ages and becomes increasingly overweight, it is no secret that significant numbers of Americans are experiencing decreased mobility as a result of physical limitations throughout all age groups.
Additionally, some of the more common conditions associated with aging and obesity – arthritis, osteoporosis, diabetes – can contribute to physical limitations in the areas of balance, strength, range of movement, lifting capabilities, vision impairment, and loss of sensation in the hands or fingers. These limitations increase the need for safety precautions.

- Handheld Showers for the Bath

Who would have thought that the bathroom of all places would turn out to be such a dangerous place! One person dies in the United States EVERY DAY in their bathroom? Those statistics are scary. It’s certainly comforting to know that there are bath safety products available that are especially designed to address every one of the problems that an individual could encounter in the bathroom. The bath chairs and bathroom grab bars are totally brilliant ideas, yet such simple one too! So are the elevated toilet seats, transfer benches and handheld showers for the bath. I have to say a big Thank you for enlightening me about these products. Up till now, my idea of bathroom safety was limited to rendering the floor of the bath non-slippery by placing a non-skid rubber mat.
