Many of us take shower and bath safety for granted. When we are young, it never seems to be much of an issue because our bodies respond quickly and are harder to injure from simple falls. However, as we age, it becomes apparent that even a slight fall can cause serious injuries. This is the reality that senior citizens live with on a day to day basis. The typical shower or bath can become a dangerous place for them as they may have weakened strength or may slip easily due to balance issues. Though there is no substitution for caution, there are ways to help make bathing safer.
