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!
Chris

Hi Chris, I'm not Ed, but we have grab bars that match the faucets and other fixtures in our bathrooms and double as towel bars.
When we remodeled our bath in Texas, I had the contractors do it (in addition to the ones in the shower.) They thought it was such a great idea that they recommend it to all of their older clients now. Nobody realizes these are grab bars unless you point it out to them.
I like the idea of a grab bar at the garage door coming into the foyer!
We always learn from one another.
