Grab bars are put in showers to reduce the risk of injury and make bathing safer and easier. They help prevent slips and falls. Wet, soapy surfaces are very slippery. Grab bars give a secure handhold if someone loses balance. They also support safe movement. They help with stepping in and out, standing, turning, or sitting on a shower seat. Todays installation focused on safe movement in the shower with the addition of grab bars in the shower.
