When grandpa fell down getting out of the shower and was having trouble getting around, my wife and I decided it was time to have him move in with us. We wanted to ensure that our household was as safe as possible and that he was comfortable getting around. While we didn’t need to make a lot of changes to the guest room, we did need to address the bathroom he would be using. We installed railings in the shower and bath, bought a bath seat, and placed a bath mat in the shower to prevent slippage.
When grandpa arrived at the house he told us that we didn’t need to renovate the bathroom like we did, but I know he appreciated it. He’s lived with us for almost a year now, and he’s never had an issue with safety in the bathroom.
