Bathroom Safety Checklist

Floors & entry

Use non-slip mats with grippy backing, keep pathways clear, and add a night light for early-morning trips.

Shower & tub

Add grab bars (not towel bars), a shower chair and transfer bench, and a handheld showerhead for seated bathing.

Toilet & sink

Consider a raised toilet seat, safety frame, and lever-style faucet handles for easier use with limited grip strength.
