How Can Seniors Avoid Falls While Bathing? Essential Safety Tips You Need to Know

5.Use Non-Slip Floor Coverings

The bathroom floor can quickly become slippery, especially after a shower or bath. A simple solution is to use non-slip mats or adhesive strips in high-risk areas such as inside the tub, shower, and near the toilet. Non-slip mats reduce the chance of slipping and falling when getting in and out of the shower or tub.

It's important to choose non-slip mats that are large enough to cover the floor where seniors are most likely to walk. Ensure that they are made from durable, water-resistant materials and replace them regularly to maintain their effectiveness.
