Work injuries can change everything — including how someone moves through their own home.

When my mom slipped in the shower a few years ago, my sister (her caregiver) froze. She was lucky, no broken bones, just a bruised hip and a frightened daughter. That moment made my sister realize how dangerous a shower can be for seniors, and how most bathroom accidents are preventable with a few simple changes. If you are here, you probably worry about your parent, spouse, or yourself. You know a shower can be slippery and hard to use. You want clear, easy steps to keep everyone safe. That is why I wrote this checklist, using terms like grab bars, non-slip flooring, and independent living. My goal is to help you take action now before something happens .
