Add grab bars to your living space to make it friendlier and safer!

You are in your home and have to use the restroom. You are disabled. The restroom is not handicapped-accessible and you fall and injure yourself. If there had been grab bars in your bathroom, you could have been safe. The lack of accessibility in your home can be detrimental for you if you are disabled. This deficit of user-friendliness can be a ramp that is too steep for a wheelchair, or one that lacks guardrails. It can also include restrooms that do not have grab bars.

Grab bars are metal rods that aid disabled people in maintaining balance in case they should slip. The bars are useful for anyone needing help getting up from the toilet, in and out of the tub, or just getting from one place to another. These bars provide the leverage, balance, and support you need. They can be installed horizontally or vertically, depending on what works best in the space. Moreover, they come in a wide variety of colors to match bathroom décor.

Remember that grab bars must be created and fixed with their use in mind. Since they will be exposed to a lot of pressure, they must be able to bear up to 250 lbs of weight. In addition, they must be mounted securely into wall. Did you know that title III of the ADA prohibits disability discrimination in the full and equal enjoyment of the facilities or accommodations of any place of public accommodation? And this includes lack of bars or rails in restrooms! Now that you know that, go ahead and make your own home safe for yourself.
