Simple steps can be taken in and around the house to prevent catastrophic and costly slip and fall accidents…

Installing a grab bar or handrail in those areas that you could use a little extra support (steps, bathtubs, and toilets) is an inexpensive cure to help minimize the potential of a fall and injury

Removing the traditional bathtub and converting the area into a walk-in shower is another option to reducing your exposure to a slip and fall accident.

Replacing your outdated 15″ tall toilet with a 17″ high comfort height model makes it much easier to get on and off thereby reducing the fall potential.
