Grab Bars that are pleasant in appearance make it much easier for many to accept. A large percentage of those who could truly benefit from the addition of bathroom grab bars are very hesitant due to the pre-conceived notion that these "handicap bars" are institutional looking and will detract from the overall appearance of the home. Moen - Creative Specialties International has developed an extensive line of bath safety products, most notably grab bars, which they offer in a wide range of attractive finishes. These decorative grab bars coordinate beautifully with Moen' range of bath accessories and faucet collections. The entire collection of Moen Grab Bars can be seen in a very organized fashion by visiting the Mr. Grab Bar website at http://www.mrgrabbar.com/.
Some of the most interesting finishes that are available are Oil Rubbed Bronze, Old World Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Chrome and Polished Brass. It may take some time before we see a general acceptance of these essential home safety devices. Bathroom grab bars are an essential, empowering but often overlooked device that can make a world of difference to most seniors. The fact that Moen's collection of grab bars is so attractive may help to overcome the resistance that many still have with respect to the addition of these devices to their home.
The second major objection to the addition of grab bars to various locations within the home is the mind set of many Americans that these important devices are only for the use of those with tremendous physical limitations of both mobility and strength and serve no purpose for an active senior. This can not be further from the truth. It is all too often that a very active senior or healthy individual of any age for that matter suffers a devastating fall which could have easily been prevented by the simple addition of grab bars. Many wait until they need grab bars before deciding to have them installed. Unfortunately these individuals have waited too long and only after an unexpected fall do they realize the mistake they have made. What often goes unrecognized is in situatuations where a caregiver must assist in the bathing of an individual with some degree of disability, the caregiver will also be at the risk of falling without the presence of grab bars in sensible. This wonderful, non-institutional collection of Grab Bars offered by Moen, now makes it easier for all of us to not allow our pride to preceed a fall.
