The bathroom, including the bathtub (especially slippery when wet and soapy) is the single most likely place where people are likely to fall and sustain major injuries. The bedroom area is another major hazard. Loss of balance, sleepiness, and lack of falls prevention equipment such as grab bars and sturdy handles, can play a major factor. Some simple steps can be one part of minimizing risk and helping you or a loved one remain as independent and healthy as possible.
