The bathroom is one of the most common used rooms throughout the entire house yet it often stays the same throughout the decades. There is a bath rub, a toilet, a beautiful vanity, a towel rack, and some cupboards, and they are all the same design from when the house was built or when you moved in. However, as we age our needs change and making sure everything is easy to grab, slip-resistant, and able to provide the additional support we may need is critical and potentially life saving. Adjusting your home to meet your needs as you age is commonly termed ‘aging-in-place’ and the IM Store is dedicated to making it easier than ever. Updating the bathroom doesn’t have to be expensive or difficult and the IM Store and Blog has selected our top 5 favorite picks to make the bathroom and your life easier to use.
