Grab bars are typically\u00a0installed near the\u00a0shower or tub area and near the toilet.\u00a0However,\u00a0grab bars or railings can also be installed\u00a0along hallways and staircases.

This can be the simplest yet also efficient way to prevent falling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-quick-tub-conversion-kits\">Quick Tub Conversion Kits&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nextdayaccess.com\/product\/quick-tub-full-convertible-kit\/\">quick tub conversion kit<\/a> supplies you with everything you need to turn your existing bathtub into a step-in shower while still maintaining a fully functional&nbsp;bathtub.&nbsp;Stepping&nbsp;in and out of the bathtub can be a slip hazard for older adults.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-threshold-ramps\">Threshold Ramps<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nextdayaccess.com\/product\/big-lug-threshold-ramp\/\">threshold ramp<\/a>&nbsp;is a simple and safe way to help wheelchairs or other mobility devices to cross over rough surfaces.

Likewise, swapping out round kitchen cabinet&nbsp;doorknobs&nbsp;with lever-style handles&nbsp;or bar handles&nbsp;makes accessing kitchen items a&nbsp;breeze.&nbsp;Small knobs, like those commonly found on kitchen cabinets, can be hard to grasp&nbsp;for people&nbsp;that struggle with&nbsp;dexterity.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-add-more-light-fixtures\">Add More Light Fixtures&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There are&nbsp;many ways to bring&nbsp;more light&nbsp;into the home.
