Falls Prevention

As we grow older, unfortunately, we become more vulnerable to falling. There are several reasons why this happens, but generally speaking, our reflexes slow, and our balance diminishes. To make matters worse, as we age, we don’t heal as well as we used to.

Making our homes safer is essential before we take a fall, rather than waiting until after to look at fall prevention.

The WOW Mobility & Rehab team has the experience to show you high-quality products that help your home be a bit safer to help avoid that fall.

Products like the Conni Absorbent Mat sits firm and flat on the floor to help prevent trips and slips in areas where liquid might spill. In addition, the non-splash surface absorbs fluid, making it perfect in wet areas such as bathrooms and kitchens. Also, it works well in protecting carpets from stains and odours.

You can install suction grab bars in showers, toilets and basins, or other locations for extra support. The grab bar can be positioned on most non-porous surfaces by fixing to the wall using its suction cups. In addition, they are easy to install, remove, and relocate, making them highly portable and versatile in application.

The bath or shower mat prevents slipping in the tub or shower. The non-slip rubber surface increases grip under the foot, with moulded suction cups on the underside that attach to the bath or shower surface.

The shower stool, or chair, has durable non-slip feet for grip and stability in wet areas. Some of the seats have holes to allow drainage and handles to reduce the risk of slipping. In addition, they are height adjustable and come with armrests for that extra support.

A bath transfer bench makes getting into and out of the bath easier by providing a sturdy base to sit on before sliding into position. They are ideal for people who have difficulty climbing into a standard bath or cannot stand while bathing.
