Bathroom Safety For Stroke Victims

A loss of balance, vision, control of one side of the body and many other physical and mental ailments are as a result of a stroke. The most important location in the home that requires safety modification to assist with someone who suffered from a stroke and prevent falls from occurring is the bathroom.

The most important modification in the bathroom needs to be the installation of grab bars which can be strategically placed throughout the bathroom in order to best address the patient’s disabilities. Mr. Grab Bar of Pinellas County is the most recommended grab bar installation specialist in the area and would be able to properly assess a patient’s needs.

The next important modification is the installation of a non-slip flooring such as Dri-Dek or DuraGrid which are both products that fit together from individual plastic tiles to form a removable wall-to-wall non-slip flooring. A product such as this could be installed by a professional or a younger family member who is handy with a few cutting tools and a mallet.
