Bathrooms and kitchens are common places for slips, but simple modifications can make a big difference. Install grab bars near toilets, showers, and bathtubs to provide stability when sitting, standing, or moving. Non-slip mats inside the tub or shower add another layer of protection. In stairways, ensure railings are secure on both sides and easy to grip. These supportive features help seniors move with confidence and reduce the fear of falling, which often leads to greater independence.
