It should come at absolutely no surprise that the bathroom is one of the most dangerous rooms of your home, since more slip and falls occur there than in any other room of the house. Statistically, one in five falls in senior citizens results in serious injury.

Here are a five quick tips to improve the safety of your bathrooms.

1. Get rid of your rugs.

While rugs can look like an attract accent they can also be the cause of slips and trips in the bathroom. Instead, look into nonslip strips or mats that add style and function.

2. Make sure there’s enough lighting.

Being able to see is kind of a big deal and having easy access to the light switch can come in handy, especially during the night. Adding nightlights in the hallways leading to the bathroom and even inside can help you or other loved ones trying to navigate in the dark.

3. Keep the bathroom floor dry.

This may sound simple but between sinks and showers bathroom floors tend to be more wet than other rooms of the house. For this reason they can also be incredibly slippery. Keeping your bathroom floors dry is an easy way of giving you and your loved ones a bit more friction.

4. Install safety grab bars.

Grab bars are an easy, inexpensive solution for those that struggle in the shower or tub. Having them properly installed is also key because if not, the bars won’t be able to support enough weight.

5. Consider a tub to shower conversion.

Tub to shower conversions are a perfect solution for older adults aging in place. Using an existing tub, a professional can easily convert the tub into a walk in shower.

I initially employed the services of One Day Bath to provide me with a tub cut of my bathtub, to provide easier access to my shower and bath area. I was very pleased with the quality of the work that they provided, at a very reasonable cost. However, when my needs changed, and I requested that they construct a barrier free shower , they did so, again at a quite fair price and with a level of service and attention to detail that was remarkable. That section of my bathroom is both improved in appearance and functions quite well as a barrier-free shower that I can now use without fear of injury. I would recommend their services to anyone seeking a similar modification to their bathroom.

You guys are fantastic, they showed up on time very well mannered. The job was fantastic thank you very much i will recommend you to my friends.

Great job gentlemen was everything I hoped for. It was a pleasure doing business with you.

As a Real Estate Manager i must tell you i have used this process with different companies over the past several years , when you did the first unit for me i was impressed , however everyone does a great job on their first, but I’m writing you to tell you that you just completed 8th or 9th tub and your service is the same as if it was the first time, you and your staff are very professional and your men who do my jobs are neat and easy to communicate with. You keep up the good work and you will continue to get my business. PS Tell Danny i said the Phillies RULE. Be well.

One Day Bath saved me a lot of money, time, and mess restoring my historic home. They were very professional and took care of any concerns I had. Rather than having to save for and plan to redo my kitchen and baths, I get to live in a nice home now. I did not have to replace sinks and tub I have from the 1800’s. They are as good as new. This made my home more valuable. You can’t go wrong with One Day Bath.
