Don't Fall In

 
When going to the bathroom, you may have heard the phrase "don't fall in." All joking aside, falling in/falling off is a very serious problem for many seniors. Don't fall in or off the toilet, raised toilet seats with handle bars reduce the risk of falling. By raising a low toilet seat, the person using the toilet doesn't have to bend down as far. The handle bars help prevent the person from falling off and in the seating process.

There are however a few things that you should know when it comes to raised toilet seats.

• Get the type that clamps to the toilet (raised toilet seats without clamps can be even more dangerous then not having one at all)
• Check and make sure that the toilet seat is raised high enough to be beneficial
• Check the clamps after each use
• Refrain from putting your entire weight on the handle bars (especially if you are overweight)
• Try to distribute your weight evenly between the two bars (don't put it all on one or the seat might pop off)
• Check to make sure that the seat can support your weight (Order a bariatric raised toilet seat if necessary)
