Adding Grab Bars in the Bathroom Keeps Everyone Safe

Schedule Now

The bathroom accounts for 70 percent of all home accidents, making it the most dangerous room in the home. The wet environment invites slips and falls, and an accident could happen to anyone. Adding grab bars in the bathroom is a beneficial safety measure, especially for children, the elderly, expectant mothers and anyone recovering from an injury or surgery. Here’s why adding grab bars in the bathroom can help assure your family’s safety.

  • Accident prevention: One dangerous slip, one harmful fall and you or your loved one could suffer a serious injury. An inexpensive, proactive approach to avoiding this situation is to add grab bars.
  • Balance assistance: Bathing and showering is more difficult for people who have limited mobility. Grab bars assist with this issue and make it easy to get in and out of the bathtub or shower without fear of falling.
  • Maintaining independence: The bathroom is one specific area of the home where people demand privacy. Whether you or a loved one is showering, bathing or using the toilet, independence in the bathroom is very important. Installing grab bars in important areas around the bathroom prevents the need for someone to accompany you or your loved one. Having the confidence to conduct personal care and hygiene without fear of slipping and falling is priceless.

Not all grab bars are created equal. If you decide adding grab bars in the bathroom is a good idea for your home, be sure to find ADA certified products. Then, seek a professional installation that meets ADA guidelines. It’s recommended that you hire a professional for grab bar installation to ensure the bars and can hold the full weight of someone using them for balance assistance.

"Ernie & Mike did a superb job on my new furnace and A/C installation. Despite having more than a day’s work to do, they came in and stayed until the job was done. They were organized, efficient, and protected the rest of the house well. Got both furnace and A/C installed the same day. Ernie was courteous, informative, and clearly knew his job better than anyone I’ve encountered before. The units look so good guests now get The Tour of our new system. Apollo is clearly not a fly-by-night company. I would recommend them to anyone in need of a new furnace and/or A/C."

"I called Apollo because of a water leak I thought I had in our upstairs shower going into the kitchen. Robbie came and assured me everything was fine & looked at all the other plumbing. He ended up changing a few pipes for our washer & clearing a drain. He was very nice & knowledgeable with all my questions. I ended up signing up for the care plan & was very happy with my service."

"The team at Apollo exceeded my expectations. As a business owner, my attention to the details and commitment to providing excellent service is high. From the sales rep. to the installation team, everyone’s performance was outstanding. For example, the installation team went to great lengths to protect our floors, placing floor runners and across the wood floors and up the stairs. They even were spot washing walls upon their departure. I highly recommend this company."

"We scheduled an estimate AND a tune-up. We knew something was wrong with our furnace, but hoped we could make it through the rest of the season. Upon telling Bill what our furnace was doing, he warned us immediately what the possible outcome was going to be; a cracked heat exchanger. He watched the flames roll backward, tested carbon monoxide levels, which were so high they meter’s last reading was 5,600 before saying “high”. He immediately shut it down, tagged it, and explained that with levels that high and children in our home he wanted off right away. He continued his inspection and showed us via a camera that not only was it cracked in multiple places, but had holes all over it. He gave us a few options for repairing it; his knowledge as well as genuine concern was beneficial and refreshing. Luckily we also scheduled an estimator, Micah, to come too and we were able to get costs between repairing and replacing (with several options). We decided to replace with a much higher efficiency furnace and one sized properly to our home. Hands down, not only did they both provide us great service and knowledge, but without sounding dramatic, they may have saved our lives. This was our first time calling Apollo, but it won’t be our last."

"Apollo is an excellent company. I always receive great service. Alex A. was professional and friendly. He kept me informed during the process of checking my furnace and heat pump to make sure they were working properly. The company makes sure you are notified who is coming and when they are on the way. All my interactions with the company have been wonderful."
