I should have grab bars next to my toilet, tub and shower.

| True | False | |

TRUE Many falls occur in the bathroom, especially in the bathtub and shower. Grab bars can help prevent falls that occur when you get in and out of the shower and bathtub. Periodically, check existing bars for strength and stability, and repair them if necessary. Also, attach grab bars through the tile—to structural supports in the wall, or install bars specifically designed to attach to the sides of the bathtub. Get someone qualified to help you if you are not sure how it is done. |
