<![CDATA[Assistive Devices, Inc.: Latest News]]> https://www.assistivedevicesinc.com Tue, 28 Apr 2026 12:11:08 +0000 <![CDATA[Avoid Injury From Falls]]> https://www.assistivedevicesinc.com/ADI-Blog/avoid-injury-from-falls/ Mon, 17 Nov 2014 19:00:00 +0000 https://www.assistivedevicesinc.com/ADI-Blog/avoid-injury-from-falls/ Falls happen quite frequently in people over 65. In fact 1 in 3 people will fall. However, most falls do not result in injury except for maybe a bruise or scratch. But falls in the bathroom can be very hazardous. Studies show that just about 80% of falls in the home are in the bathroom. As we age muscle strength and balance decline leaving us more susceptible of falling and getting injured. Since most falls occur while in the bathroom there are some steps and upgrades that can be done to help alleviate falls.

Bathroom floors are slippery when they get wet and make for a hazardous place for an already unstable person. The use of a rubber bathtub mat or non-slip rug is a must. A rubber mat on the shower floor is a must also. Safety bars in the shower and on the bathroom wall are great for support so the elderly don’t use the towel bars, sink tops or other objects to help support balance. Toilets heights that are difficult to get up from easily are another problem. Installing safety features such as toilet safety bars in the bathroom is a great way to reducing the risk of falling. This frame is used on the toilet to give the person hand rails to help raise them up off of the toilet. Another must have item is a shower chair. Elders may not have the strength to stand for long periods and a shower chair lets them sit instead of using their tired legs. Installing a bar in the shower so they can hold onto something to steady them is also useful. Assistive Devices has a great selection of very useful bathroom safety products. They are available for questions by calling 800-856-0889.

We’ve all heard the term but what does it really mean? The Activities of Daily Living (or ADLs) are the

things we do every day: getting out of bed, going to the bathroom, taking a shower, brushing our teeth,

dressing, eating, interacting with others, talking on the phone, getting in and out of a chair, taking

medication, driving, and the list goes on.

When we’re young, and healthy we don’t give these activities a second thought. It’s only when we

can no longer do some or all these things that we get concerned. When this happens; life changes for

everyone. We are concerned with our quality of life, our independence, our future. Our spouse usually

assumes the role of the caregiver with all the additional responsibilities and worries that entails. Our

family members start talking about assisted living or even nursing homes for us. All these things come

into play when the ability to perform the activities of daily living is impaired.

What to do?

The first thing is to have a professional evaluate your loved one. The situation might not be

as dire as you think. Assess both the inside and outside of the home to insure the individual is in a safe

environment. If the home is no longer safe for your loved one then make the necessary modifications.

If an outside caregiver is needed, ask around as to the best home health agency in the area. Interview

them and ask for references. Do your due diligence, remember you will be entrusting your loved one

to this agency and the people that work for them. Personally meet and talk with the caregiver who will

be caring for your loved one. If you don’t feel comfortable with the individual the agency selected ask

to interview others. Go with your gut feeling. If a family member is the caregiver, periodically check

to see that the caregiver isn’t overwhelmed. Other family members need to pitch in so that the family

caregiver has time off. Respite care for the caregiver is essential.
