Make Your Bathroom Safer
It’s probably no surprise that the bathroom in your home can be a dangerous place. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that nearly a quarter of a million people are injured in the bathroom each year, and as we get older, those injuries become more and more serious. Add memory and dementia issues to that, and it could be deadly.
Helen Guzzo, ma Manager, Calhoun County Senior Services, was a guest on the Miles for Memories segment on the 95.3 WBCK Morning Show with Tim Collins.
Guzzo said there are some things that anybody should consider doing to make their bathroom a safer place. The CDC says that nearly 7 out of 10 accidents happen in the tub or shower.
