Safe showering for older adults starts with eliminating the biggest risks in the bathroom: slipping, tripping, and unsteady movement on wet floors. With the right layout and a few smart choices, showering can remain more comfortable, more independent, and more relaxing. In particular, a low threshold, a stable floor, and ample space to move around often make an immediate difference.
