Do Not Fall In The Shower!
This entry was posted in April 18, 2024Regardless of age or physical ability, falling in the shower is a terrifying and potentially dangerous situation that can happen to anyone. Wet surfaces combined with water and bath products can create a hazardous situation that increases the risk of slipping and falling.
What are the Risks and Consequences?
The risks of falling in the shower can result in small injuries, such as cuts and bruises, or more serious injuries, such as broken bones, head trauma, or even permanent disabilities. If you happen to fall in the shower, it is important to have a medical examination right away, especially if you hit your head or experience any pain or discomfort.
How to Prevent Falls in the Shower?
1- Install Grab Rails: Adding grab rails to your shower can provide extra support when entering, exiting, or moving around in the shower. Make sure they are securely installed and within reach to provide the necessary assistance.
2- Use a Non-Slip Mat or Adhesive Strips: This can help improve your movements and reduce the chance of slipping on the slippery surface. To ensure their effectiveness, make sure to regularly clean and maintain them.
3- Take Your Time: When transitioning between wet and dry areas, be extremely careful and mindful of your movements, avoiding sudden movements that could cause you to lose your balance.
4- Keep the shower area organized: Consider having a shower organiser to keep products organized and out of your way.
5- Consider Adaptive Bathing Aids: If you have mobility or balance issues, consider using adaptive bathing aids such as a shower chair or stool to sit on while showering. These aids can provide additional support and minimize the risk of falling.
By taking these simple preventive measures and being extremely careful in the shower, you can reduce the risk of falling and stay safe while bathing.

Celebrate National Pets Day with Ableworld!
This entry was posted in April 11, 2024Ableworld understands the happiness and companionship that pets bring into our lives. That’s why we are happy to celebrate National Pets Day today! This special day on April 11th is dedicated to admiring our scaly, feathered, and furry friends, and showcasing how important they are in our lives.
For some, pets are like a best friend or another member of the family, because they have a unique ability to bring comfort, happiness, and love into our lives. Whether you have a cuddly cat, a chirpy bird, a playful pup, or a slithery snake, pets can provide emotional support, companionship, and unconditional love. Over the years, studies have shown that having a pet brings numerous health benefits, like reducing stress, lowering blood pressure, and increasing physical activity.
To celebrate National Pets Day, why not spoil your furry friend a little more with some special treats or toys? We also suggest taking them for an extra-long walk, cuddling up for a movie night, or most importantly, spending some extra quality time playing together. If you do not have a pet of your own, you can consider volunteering at a local rehoming centre or donating to a pet charity.
If you are thinking of getting a pet, remember the responsibilities that come along with PETS - Place, Exercise, Time, and Spend.
HAPPY NATIONAL PETS DAY FROM ABLEWORLD AND OUR PET FRIENDS!
