Electric Mobility Scooters

From your shower to your clothes hamper, the bathroom is one of the most personal rooms in the house. Yet, safety and health often come second to convenience and comfort. That’s why it’s important to be mindful of potential hazards. There are simple precautions you can take to reduce your risks, and improve your quality of life.

• Consider putting a cordless phone in the bathroom in a low area in case of an emergency.
• Use a toilet seat riser or toilet safety stand, which fits around the toilet area; which provides handrails for extra support.
• Install permanent/fixed grab bars in areas where you might need a little extra mobility support.
• Medication’s shelf life is better if kept in a cool dry area. Thus it is not recommmended to store medicines in the “medicine cabinet”. Also, check frequently for medication that has passed its expiration date. Discard unused medication to avoid accidental confusion.  
• Frequent handwashing with antibacterial soap helps to kill germs , that can spread colds or the flu.
• Throw rugs could “throw” you! It is recommended to eliminate them throughout your home. They can be a slipping hazard. If possible use a wall-to-wall non-skid rug in the bathroom (without extra scattered rugs).
• Set your water heater to 120°F degrees or lower, to prevent scalding.
