Bathroom Safety for Older Adults...The Secret Enemy

In our business we see many different age groups coming to us for certain needs in their bathrooms. We have the usual couple that just wants us to come in and transform their outdated bathroom into a more modern looking space. These jobs are great! It's so nice to see the before and after pictures and even see the look on the customers face when they see the newly transformed room become one of the most modern looking rooms they have in their home. Well next to the living room where they have that 70in flat screen mounted on the wall that is met with that great shag carpeting from the 70's. I am kidding about that, well kind of, but it is great to see that transformation and gracious response. But that isn't mine, nor our, favorite response.

We see many couples and singles, that come to us looking for a solution to their main problem. Reaching the peak and descending down the treacherous terrain of their tub. You may laugh, I did at first to, but it is seriously the number one issue we see here in our business. As we walk through the steps of the product, installation and the other choices the customer gets these days in remodeling this room, you begin to see the weight lift off of their shoulders. But nothing beats the look they get when they are brought into their new bathroom and instead of staring at the wet area they depend on to bath in as Mount Kilimanjaro, they see it as a simple step, or in some cases, no step at all.

This main reason is why today I am sharing the following article from About.com http://seniorliving.about.com/od/fallingfallinginjurie1/a/bathtub_safety.htm . Take a look at it and think about yourself, your partner, parents or loved ones. To us younger folks, bathing is nothing, but to some it is a 3 hour experience.
