The bathroom is one of the most common places for falls at home.\* Walk through your bathroom with this checklist to spot what to change.

## Getting in and out of the shower or tub

* [ ] Can you step in without lifting your foot over a high tub wall?
* [ ] Is there a low-threshold or curbless entry? See [Curbless & Low-Threshold Showers](https://allstarreno.com/docs/accessibility/curbless-low-threshold-showers.md).
* [ ] Are there solid grab bars at the entry and inside? See [Grab Bars & Seating](https://allstarreno.com/docs/accessibility/grab-bars-and-seating.md).
* [ ] Is there a built-in or fold-down seat?
* [ ] Is there a handheld showerhead reachable while seated?
* [ ] Are the controls reachable from outside the spray?

## Floors and lighting

* [ ] Slip-resistant flooring and shower base
* [ ] No loose rugs or trip edges
* [ ] Bright, even lighting and a night light

## Toilet and vanity

* [ ] Comfort-height toilet or a grab bar beside it
* [ ] Vanity at a comfortable height, with lever faucets

## Doorways and space

* [ ] Enough clear floor space to turn with a walker or wheelchair
* [ ] Doorway wide enough for mobility aids

## Frequently asked questions

> **What is the single most helpful aging-in-place bathroom upgrade?**
>
> For many people it is removing the high tub wall with a low-threshold shower and adding grab bars. Your needs may differ, so ask during your free in-home quote.

> **Should I plan for future needs even if I don't need them now?**
>
> Yes. Adding wall blocking for future grab bars or choosing a low-threshold base now often costs less than retrofitting later.\*
