The bathroom is the top fall zone after stroke. During a remodel, you lose familiar walls, thresholds, and sometimes the only indoor shower. Plan three phases: before demo, during work, and after tile when bars go in for real.
Before demo, your OT should mark stud photos for blocking. Order a temporary outdoor or bedside rinse setup if the indoor shower will be offline for more than a few days.
Stable seating during showering reduces falls.
Est. $40–$80
