Sent me off on a fact-finding mission to look at ours and they just have 2 screws on each end. Interestingly though, one end of one grab bar has the screws mounted horizontally and on the other end they're vertical.

A friend of Mum's built a new house and deliberately designed in masses of stuff planning to manage frailty and even dementia for live at home as long as possible in late life. We will be doing the same when we build in NZ in a year or two. Chocolate rabbits?

It is very scary to slip, and grab a bar that comes at you out of the wall. I make a point to only step out of lousy tub using the one safety bar on the drain end. Present landlord asked, but didn't install a safety bar at the other end.Salty Pumpkin Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10116105220109225010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8905003879789876177.post-33139836781359487142022-09-30T13:56:22.584-04:002022-09-30T13:56:22.584-04:00We put ADA-compliant grab bars in our shower stall...We put ADA-compliant grab bars in our shower stalls and next to the toilet.

My husband has problems navigating them sometimes and I worry so that we'll have to move into a more modern and older-person friendly place at some point. <br />Sigh. <br />But! Needs must, of course. <br />He did put a very sturdy railing up by the steps up to the kitchen porch which we both use now because it's there and I am glad of it.
