As we welcome a New Year, many of us are pondering the positive changes we’d like to make to improve our lives. Consider making your home a safe place again.
There are many situations and conditions that can throw us off-balance. Whether it’s a medical condition such as diabetes where we can lose feeling in our feet, or changes in our eyesight, it’s never too soon to consider placing “helpers” such as grab bars around the house.
Grab bars are usually attached to a wall and are placed in key areas where extra stability might be needed–next to toilets, near steps or in hallways. Anywhere someone might need a little assistance. Grab bars range in quality from plastic to metal and range in color from white to chrome and can be an attractive addition to any space.
In our 15 years in business, we often meet people after they’ve had an accident or serious injury. But it’s never too soon to have simple, attractive, and inexpensive modifications that help prevent injuries.
So how do you know if it’s time? Well, usually, no one asks for accommodations out loud. Our clients and our client’s love ones often tell us that they notice changes in mobility weeks, months and even years before accidents. Some say they first noticed a difference when they began using the toilet roll holder to lift off the toilet, or began using a table to push-up to a stand, or find their balance against flat walls. Though those solutions may work temporarily, there is another way–a safe, inexpensive and ADA recommended way to manage stability. Grab bars. Most importantly, grab bars that blend nicely into your home’s decor.
To help you or your loved ones get on the road to a safe New Year, we’d like to help. We are offering a discounted rate on grab bars, fully installed and secured by our CAPS certified and experienced installer through the month of February. Entrust your safety with us. This is all we do. For a starting price of less than $80, you can have a standard grab bar supplied and installed securely today.
Here are other small changes that can help to make to your living environment a much
safer place:
• Remove trip hazards such as rugs. This can greatly reduce the danger of a falls that
result in a serious injury including head traumas and broken hips.
• Be careful in bathrooms. Bathrooms are considered to be “one of the most
dangerous places in the home” because there is usually tile on the floors and they can
become very slippery when wet. Be mindful of floors and steps.
Adapted Living wishes you and yours a safe and wonderful New Year.
