Tub transfer benches

There are a number of ways to prevent falls in elderly people. Four of the most basic ways are for the elderly person to begin an exercise program, have their vision checked, have their healthcare provider review medications, and to make their home safer. 

 

Tub transfer benches or bathtub handrails can be essential bathroom safety measures when it comes to elderly people with mobility issues.   Slipping while already in or trying to get out of the bathtub can be one of the most frequent causes of falls in the elderly.
