Bathroom Safety
Bathrooms are high-risk due to slippery surfaces, tight spaces, and minimal support. Transfers often involve complex movements like stepping over thresholds or balancing on wet surfaces. Support surfaces and shower seating promotes safer movement.

Bedroom Safety
Bed transfers are risky, especially at night with low lighting and reduced alertness. Falls often occur during nighttime toileting. Tools like assist poles or floor-to-ceiling supports offer stability for key transitions. They promote independence and reduce the need for overnight help.
Living Room Safety
Low furniture, soft cushions, and few stable surfaces make the living room deceptively risky. Sit-to-stand transfers can be hazardous for those with weakness or balance issues. Support bars and transfer poles support without disrupting the familiar setup.

Stair Safety
Stairs pose serious fall risks due to uneven steps and limited support. These falls are often severe. Handrails, landing supports, and extended grips improve safety at transitions. For clients with poor endurance or coordination, adaptive aids make stairs more manageable.
