Did you know that many in-home accidents occur in the
bathroom? These accidents, which are especially common among the elderly or
those with mobility issues, are often the results of slips and falls. One of
the leading causes behind these slips and falls, however, is simply not having
adequate lighting. When designing the bathrooms of custom homes, always make
sure you include ample lighting throughout the bathroom but especially in the
shower and/or tub areas.
When coming up with your
home plans, you should also think about the position of the toilet. Toilets
should be placed several inches away from other structures, including walls, to
prevent a person falling and being trapped in the in-between space. Likewise,
when you have those with mobility issues in the home, it’s wise to choose
toilet seats that are higher up so that the person has an easier time sitting
down when needed.
