How To Make Your Bathroom Elders And Kids Friendly

The smallest yet most frequently visited room of any house is sounding to be the most dangerous room among all. The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention has found that around 2,35,000 people above the age of 15 visit emergency hospital rooms due to bathroom accidents. They have also found that these injuries peak among the above 85 age category with falls due to moisture or soapy liquids being the major cause. Also, a surprising fact is that women are 72% more likely to meet with a bathroom accident than men as they have comparatively lesser lower-body strength and bone mass. With these statistics, bathing and getting out of a shower or bathtub has been termed the most hazardous activity. Apart from exercising to improve your lower body strength, it is also vital to make your bathroom elders and kids friendly because accidents might happen to anyone.

Here are some little yet effective moves you can make in your bathroom to prevent the number of trips and falls in the bathroom.

COMMON SAFETY MEASURES:

Proper Lighting:

Diminishing eyesight and negligence are found as the most common reason for bathroom accidents among elders. To enable the elders and kids to properly visualize the moisture or soaps, it is highly recommended to install lights at the needed places. Do not go by the myth that one bright light over your head, right from the ceiling can fix all your bathroom lighting problems. These overhead lights often tend to confuse the elders as they cast shadows and create illusions.

The bathroom, the little room where we get in to remove the grime from our body and visit at least 5 to 6 times a day for nature’s call, is termed to be the most comfortable spot for germs to multiply due to the extra moisture present anytime. A study conducted in 2018 also revealed that an average person would spend 2 years in their lifetime cleaning their homes with bathrooms and toilets being the #1 dreaded cleaning chore. To ease this cleaning process and simultaneously stay away from disease-causing germs and bacteria, you can simply install the germ-free patented tiles from H & R Johnson. Germ-free Tiles:

As weakening of lower muscles and fragile skin are the by-products of aging, it is extremely important to install anti-skid materials in your bathroom. Even millennials and middle-aged people slip in the bathroom due to other pressure, and distracting thoughts we have while bathing. Kids are always in a hurry and stay in exploration mode, and do not understand the need to be careful in the bathroom. If you are making your bathroom from scratch, we would recommend you install anti-skid or skid-resistant tiles where the surface of the tiles is coated with anti-skid elements. Anti-skid materials:

Invest in Shower chairs or transfer benches: If you have a separated shower area, you must get a shower chair as the elders might face difficulty in standing for a long time in moist areas. If you have bathtubs installed, it becomes hard for elders to lift their legs to the top of the tub with knee pain, joint pain, and low flexibility. Thus, invest in a transfer bench for them.
