What to prioritize first
If you can only do one thing, replace the tub with a walk-in or low-threshold shower. Stepping over a tub wall is the #1 fall risk in the bathroom for anyone over 65.
- Low-threshold or curbless walk-in shower
- Slip-resistant flooring and shower pan texture
- Properly anchored grab bars (not suction cups)
- Comfort-height toilet
- Hand-held shower wand on a slide bar
- Built-in shower bench or fold-down seat
- Lever-style faucets instead of knobs
