Elder Proofing

Grab bars and benches only help if they are fastened into framing that can carry a person’s full weight. We fit bathroom and hallway safety hardware so the bathroom works for the people who use it.

Elder Proofing by Handy Lions

What this visit covers

  • Shower grab bars and shower benches
  • Toilet safety rails and support handles
  • Anchoring into studs and blocking for real weight

Why you may need this

  • A parent or grandparent is still independent but unsteady on wet tile or on the stairs.
  • The shower has nothing solid to hold onto when standing up or turning around.
  • Getting up from the toilet has become harder over the past year.
  • There was a fall or a near miss, and the family wants safety hardware in before the next one.
  • The bathroom was never fitted with blocking, so folding benches and rails have nothing to hold.
  • They want to stay in their own home, and the house needs to be made safer to make that work.
