Why do occupational therapists consistently name grab bars as the single highest-return bathroom safety investment?
Falls in the bathroom account for a disproportionate share of serious senior injuries — the combination of wet surfaces, confined space, and hard porcelain is particularly unforgiving. Grab bars provide a fixed anchor point at the moments of highest instability: entering and exiting the shower, lowering to and rising from the toilet, and stepping over a bath rim.
