I provide <a href="http://www.homeinstead.com/608/Pages/assisted-living-auburn-nh.aspx" rel="nofollow">home care</a> for seniors in Auburn NH, and this is something we have to deal with regularly. As a caregiver, we prefer to assist seniors with tasks such as this. There are always those seniors who believe they can do it themselves though, and this is where it gets dangerous.

But I first wanted to take a close look at the hazards. I have a friend who fell in the shower two years ago (at age 75) and broke her hip. She was supposed to shower with assistance due to a broken knee and neuropathy in her feet, so she increased her risk by going against doctor's instructions. But a grab bar might have helped. She lived alone and had to wait for hours before someone found her. She's back to walking but with a walker now. Karen D.
