Here is some research presented by NCOA about falls and older adults.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other falls research:
Falls, with or without injury, also carry a heavy quality of life impact. A growing number of older adults fear falling and, as a result, limit their activities and social engagements. This can result in further physical decline, depression, social isolation, and feelings of helplessness.
Grab Bars offer stability and support, reducing the risk of falls in crucial areas of your home such as bathrooms, hallways, and staircases. Their sturdy construction provides leverage when you need it most.
We recommend installing at least 2 Grab Bars in each bathing area. One vertically where you enter the bathtub or shower and a second one horizontally on the long wall of the bathing area.
By installing Grab Bars strategically, you can maintain independence while performing daily activities such as standing up from a seated position, entering and exiting the shower or bathtub, and navigating your home with confidence.
Other important areas for Grab Bars are next to toilets, at the front and rear entrance of homes, coming in from the garage or other areas where you find yourself holding on to the wall to support yourself.
Grab Bars come in various styles and finishes, allowing you to choose options that blend seamlessly with your home’s aesthetic. From sleek and modern to classic and elegant, there’s a Grab Bar design to suit every taste and preference.
