Yesterday he fell. A color-coordinated grab bar could be attached to the front face of the kitchen counter to provide Mom with something to hold on to, just in case she gets a little wobbly. A lot of falls occur in the kitchen. The cabinet or drawer knobs aren't designed to hold that much weight. But a grab bar disguised as a dish towel bar serves this purpose well.
Today grab bars come in all shapes, textures, sizes and configurations.
Color Many manufacturers offer a broad range of colors. No longer are grab bars limited to the conventional stainless steel, shiny finish. Color offers the opportunity for contrast, a very important feature if someone is falling. And while we are talking about size let s also mention wall offset. This refers to the space between the wall and the bar itself.
