Don't wait to fall!! Adjust the elderly bathroom to safety starting today

Bathroom 👴🏻👵🏻 is the most common area of slippery accidents in the home, especially for the elderly, because body changes, reduced muscle strength, unstable balancing, and slower movement, make a bathroom designed for the average person may no longer answer the problem of elderly use.

Note the bathroom in the home if it still has the following characteristics. It may be time to improve it to make it more convenient and safe to use.

🚿, how to adjust the bathroom...To suit the elderly??

If there is sufficient space, the bathroom should be designed to have an open space for rotation, not less than 1.50 m, and a wide door cavity, at least 90 cm, to accommodate wheelchair use if there is a need in the future.

The door should choose to use a hanging rail sliding so that there is no barrier rail on the floor and a viewfinder or glass should be attached to the door so that external irregularities can be observed.

The bathroom floor should be adjusted to all the same levels, reducing the risk of stumbling, opting for tiles with non-slip values R10 and above, and opting for clearly contrasting floor and wall colors to help older people split the boundaries of the area more easily.

🚽 areas to sit up or replace iriya, such as bathing areas and bidet, should be equipped with a support handrail in a practical position to increase stability whenever moving.

Ware and equipment should be selected for use.

Despite only adjusting small details inside the bathroom, these can make a huge difference in use.

Improving restrooms for the elderly not only reduces the risk of slipping accidents, but also allows the elderly to live their daily lives conveniently, confidently, and with a better quality of life, while ensuring peace of mind for the whole family.
