Our O-Tip of the week series we will be providing valuable “OT-Approved Life Hacks” to provide you with simple and helpful solutions for living.
For the month of November, Fall Prevention Month, our O-Tip series will concentrate on preventing falls at home and in the community.
This week’s O-Tip of the Week focuses on simple ways to keep you safe in the bathroom, one of the most dangerous rooms in the home.
For a simple and inexpensive solution to improve bathroom safety we recommend using adhesive shower or tub strips which are easy to install, and provide added protection from falling when you are getting in and out or standing in the shower or tub with bare feet on a wet surface. Strips are easier to maintain and clean than a standard bath mat and stick better to the bottom of the tub or shower.
Learn more about how to improve safety in your bathroom in this episode from our OT-V series, Bathroom Safety.
