Are you struggling to decide if you should install a tub or a shower in your bathroom remodel? It can be hard to determine if either bathroom fixture will help you stay safe and independent for a lifetime. In this video, Maria Lindberg will  explore the safety issues associated with tubs and showers, provide tips to enhance their safety, and discuss the ideal solutions that cater to people of all ages and abilities.

Key Points Covered:

• Tub and Shower Safety Issues: Both tubs and showers present unique safety challenges for older adults. Wet surfaces can lead to slips and falls, which are particularly dangerous in the bathroom, where approximately 80% of falls occur. Tubs require stepping over a high edge, which can be hazardous for those with mobility issues.
• Tips to Make Them Safer: We’ll share practical tips to improve safety, such as installing grab bars, using non-slip mats, and considering walk-in tubs or curbless showers. These modifications can significantly reduce the risk of accidents.
• Ideal Solutions: We’ll discuss the benefits of walk-in showers  designed specifically for older adults, which can provide a safer bathing experience while accommodating various needs.

By the end of this video, you’ll have a clearer understanding of which option may be best for your home and how to create a safer bathroom environment.
