Bathroom Safety with Arthritis: Serious accidents and falls can occur in the bathroom when showering, bathing, or toileting. Your bathroom can easily be converted to suit your needs if you have arthritis. The aim is to make it as safe as possible and to minimize the stress on your joints.

Bathing, dressing, and grooming ourselves are common activities that we often take for granted. They're just a part of our normal daily routine so we don't put a lot of thought into it. For people with arthritis these activities, though common, can be complex and frustrating.

For many people bath time is a relaxing time. Soaking in the hot water with their favorite soap, body wash, or bubble bath, releasing tension and stress. This is not the case for most arthritis patients, as bath time can be a painful experience, especially in the morning time when arthritic pain is at its worst. If you’re one of those people for whom arthritis has taken the pleasure out of bathing or you have a loved one in this position, we have some bathing aids that we are going to discuss with you.

Staplers might be a handy table top tool, but these other everyday items turned into table top versions will delightfully surprise you.
