There are many factors that may impact mobility; from injuries, conditions or ageing- no matter the reason your mobility may be hindered. Having grab rails installed in your home can make a world of difference in your home. Particularly the bathroom, due to the wet and slippery surfaces, grab rails are an amazing way to help those who need the extra help to be more independent in their own home. Not only do grab rails make a huge physical difference, they are also a great way to give people a peace of mind that if they need it, that added support is there. That is why when choosing grab rails for your home, you need to ensure you pick the ones that suit. The wrong style, size or weight can lead to some nasty situations, so it is best to do your research. Before considering the grab rails you need make sure you have measured the area. Areas like from the shower to the wall or the area around the toilet. Rails that are too short will be made redundant and of no use, so having the proper measurements will avoid that situation. Also ensure that the diameter of the rail is correct, because you want the person using it to be able to hold onto the rail comfortably. If it is too wide or narrow, it can be detrimental especially since it is being used for support. You also need to ensure that the rail can take the weight of the person using, including if they slip. Rails are not just used to support but to stabilise any falls, so if it is unable to handle the weight of the person using it, it will cause more harm than good. Also, the finer details count- getting a rail that suits the décor of the bathroom may not seem very important, but for the person living in the home having one that suits the décor of the bathroom can help them feel more at home and that is something everybody wants.
