Handrails for Elderly & Disabled

Having something to hold that helps maintain personal balance can be highly soothing to people with physical impairments. It guarantees them that as long as they stay close to the rail, they will not tumble or lose their balance or equilibrium. They gain confidence to mount stairs or ramps without asking for aid because of the peace of mind they have when touching the railing. More than this, it gives them a sense of independence, which is crucial for healthy living.

Benefits of Installing Stainless Steel Grab Rails for Elderly

Additional Safety

The primary purpose for adding disability grab rails in homes or workplaces is to provide additional safety and support for a more independent life. Grab rails are installed in certain sections of your home, most notably in the bathroom and, more precisely, in the shower. Shower grab rails are critical for ensuring people's safety and stability throughout their daily showering routines, as well as reducing their fear of falling.

Improved Stability

They also provide greater peace of mind for your loved ones who are disabled or aged. As these individuals may suffer from mobility issues, knowing that they have somewhere to hold on to for stability gives them some peace of mind.

Anti-Slip Protection

Did you know that according to a survey provided by the Western Australian government, one in every four adults aged 60 and up will suffer a serious fall each year? These figures are astonishing, and the majority of accidents occur because older persons lack additional environmental support.

Installing handrails in key parts of your home can help to prevent or considerably minimise the risk of an accident, such as a fall or slip. This is because high-quality grab rails provide unrivalled slip prevention and stability, enhancing the user's safety and comfort.

Take Pressure Off Joints

Grab rails can also relieve pressure on weak or sore joints, such as knees or ankles. When a person shifts their weight to the rail, they remove the pressure off the joints, guaranteeing more comfort and steadiness.

Increased Mobility

Another benefit of placing handrails for the elderly throughout your home is that it increases their mobility tremendously. Installing grab rails around your home, particularly in locations where assistance is required, will restore their freedom and allow them to move more freely and easily.
