When we were setting up the in-law suite for the parents we put grab bars everywhere.

It does not stop all falls but even a 50% is worth going for.

Once you hit 70 falls become very bad things.

We did the same for my Mom when her health started going downhill around age 87 (She passed away at 89). We put a ceiling to floor grab-bar by the shower and by her bed. My husband kidded her that 87 was a pretty late age to take up pole dancing.

I fell twice, last year...
Dumbass 90-year-old, both times when running down the front steps...

Fractured wrist was the price the second time...
Will not happen again... My wife threatens me with consequences if I do...
