Think in paths, not products
Grab bars support transitions: sitting to standing, stepping over a tub edge, moving from a walker to a toilet. Walk through the bathroom the way it is actually used.
Common locations
These are starting points — every home is different.
- Near the toilet — horizontal bar on the side wall, or a vertical bar for rising from the seat
- In the shower — vertical bar at the entrance; horizontal bar on the back or side wall
- By the tub — vertical bar for stepping in; angled bar for lowering down
Height is personal
Clinical guidelines exist, but the best height matches the person using the bar. We measure and confirm on site — especially when a therapist or family member is involved.
