Stay Safe with Grab Bars from Next Day Access!

It’s the fear that won’t go away, the fear that nags. It’s the fear of falling – but grab bars from Next Day Access can stop that fear before it starts.

Everyone has heard a horror story about a perfectly-healthy older person who unexpectedly falls, breaks a hip, and is soon enmeshed in the cycle of treatment and rehabilitation.

Know the Risks

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention note that one of five falls causes a serious injury, such as broken bones or head injuries. And each year, 2.5 million older people are treated in emergency departments for injuries from falls.

Grab bars are a great way to cut down the possibility of these disastrous tumbles. But let us tell you something else – Medicare does not cover fall-prevention services. As AARP THE MAGAZINE explained it: “Nor does it cover safety equipment that might prevent falls, such as grab bars and stair rails – even though Medicare spends billions of dollars a year on treating the results of falls with surgery and physical therapy services that help patients regain the use of their injured limbs.”

Be Pro-active

Here’s the short version: Be pro-active. Grab bars in the bathroom – in the shower to help prevent slips and near the commode to help with sitting and standing – are your keys to cutting down the chances of an unfortunate and painful incident that Medicare may help repair but will not help prevent.
