To make your bathroom safer, you can install grab bars to hold onto, use non-slip mats or decals on the floor, and keep the floor dry after using water. It’s also a good idea to have a shower chair or bench to sit on, especially if standing for a long time is hard. Make sure the bathroom is well-lit so you can see clearly, and keep things like soap and towels within easy reach.
