Preventing Common Bathroom Injuries

Slippery tiles, hard surfaces, and limited space make bathrooms one of the most common places for falls. Most injuries happen when standing from the toilet, stepping over the tub edge, or losing balance on wet floors.

The right bathroom safety equipment reduces those risks. Grab bars give you something solid to hold, non-slip mats prevent sliding, and shower chairs remove the need to stand for long periods. With the right setup, you can maintain safety and peace of mind every time you walk into the bathroom.

Grab Bars, Non-Slip Mats, and Steps

Simple additions can make all the difference. Grab bars provide stability, bath mats prevent slips, and bath steps make it easier to enter and exit high tubs. Each one is designed to give you confidence where you need it most.

Medical Shower Seats and Transfer Benches

Stay comfortable and secure while bathing. Shower chairs allow you to sit while you wash, and transfer benches extend over the tub edge so you can slide safely into place—no awkward balancing, no fear of falling.

Raised Toilet Seats and Commodes

Ease the strain of sitting and standing with raised toilet seats and toilet seat risers. For those with limited mobility, portable commodes provide access wherever you need it. These products are designed to help preserve independence in one of the most personal parts of daily life.

How to Make Your Bathroom Safer

Start by installing grab bars near the toilet and shower and adding non-slip mats where water collects. For more support, consider a shower chair or transfer bench to reduce fatigue. If lowering or standing is difficult, a raised toilet seat can make a big difference. Our experts can help you build a setup that fits your space and supports your daily routine.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most important bathroom safety products for seniors?

The essentials include grab bars for support, shower chairs or transfer benches for safe bathing, raised toilet seats to reduce strain, and non-slip mats for better traction.

How do I safely install support bars in the bathroom?

Grab bars should always be attached to wall studs with proper mounting hardware to ensure they hold weight safely. Avoid suction-only bars for long-term use. We recommend professional installation to guarantee reliable support where you need it most.

Can I get bathroom safety equipment covered by insurance?

Coverage varies by product and medical necessity. Some items, like commodes, may qualify with a doctor’s prescription, while others are typically out-of-pocket. For qualifying items, you can pay cash or bill insurance directly. Our team is always available to check your coverage and make the process as simple as possible.

Does Alpine Home Medical offer delivery and setup?

Yes, we provide delivery throughout Utah and Idaho, and our team can assist with setup for products that require assembly. For grab bars and mounted equipment, we can coordinate professional installation so everything is secure and ready to use.

What's the difference between a shower chair and a transfer bench?

A shower chair sits entirely inside the shower or tub area, allowing you to sit while bathing or showering. A transfer bench extends over the tub edge, so you can sit outside the tub and safely slide into the bathing area without stepping over the high edge.

Where can I find handicap bathroom equipment in Utah?

Alpine Home Medical has locations throughout Utah and Idaho. We carry a full selection of bathroom safety equipment and offer both in-store shopping and online ordering with delivery options across the region.
