Grab bars are a common feature in many bathrooms in existing homes, and sometimes they are available in new construction. Unfortunately, we have seen new construction, specifically built for ages 55 and older, where there were no adequate grab bars for safety. Or, they have been screwed only into the drywall rather than into the studs for stability. 

Also, be cautious about where you purchase your grab bars Some of these inexpensive online stores claim to ADA-compliant grab bars, however, the screws are too short, making them unsafe.

When you trust Healthy Home Improvements with your bathroom updates, you can rest easy that you’ll receive top quality accessibility equipment with diligent installation.
