I had a serious episode of vertigo a few days ago.
Those newly added grab bars/towel racks in the bathroom were crucial to safe landing on the toilet when the world was spinning.
It seems like you're going overboard with safety...until you need it!
I'm looking for more places to install grab bars or rails.

Good evening @edsutton. Thanks so much for letting us know about how important your grab bars are.. Do you really use towel racks? My grab bars in the bathroom are from the Mayo Clinic store. We do need some in the other two bathrooms. What do you recommend?

We put simple grab bars in the garage where there are steps from the mud room to the garage floor. Last week we had someone from our "Care" unit come and check everything. What I didn't realize was the need to make sure the small floor rugs in the guest bathroom and laundry room are glued to the floor somehow.

Anything else? May you have happiness and joy!
