Bath Safety

Bath Safety

Taking a bath isn't something most people give much thought. For many older adults, though, the tub can be a dangerous place. Falling while you're getting in and out of the tub can lead to fractured bones and significant disability.

In a recent study of 89 seniors (age 80 and older), one-third had trouble getting into and out of the tub or shower.
