Having
ADA compliant grab bars installed in the bathroom is vital to ensure
safety. It is highly critical that grab
bars be properly installed and strategically located to fit the needs of the
user.
Grab
bars need to be installed in and around the shower area to provide safe entry
and exit. Grab bars must be placed where
the person is going to reach, grab and brace themselves as they are getting in
and out of the shower. Placing a wet,
slippery hand on the wall can be dangerous!
Height
and angle positioning of grab bars is vital.
Grab bars can be installed horizontally, vertically or even diagonally
to increase stability.
Finally, be sure to have grab bars installed around the toilet. One unique type of grab bar is one that is designed to be moved out of the way when not in use. There are even grab bars that function as a toilet paper holder.
