Bathroom safety

The bathroom is where most falls happen: wet surfaces, hard edges, and a tub wall to get over. These are the items that remove a step rather than asking someone to be steadier.

How to use this page

Every item below is listed with what it is for, the price band to expect, and the brands you will actually see. Ask your occupational or physical therapist which of these fits before you buy: much of it is covered as durable medical equipment with a physician order.
