Default Grab Bars - The OP asked about GRAB BARS>>>>>

I need help all the time in moving safely.
Grab bars are very useful. I have one beside commode and both at the entrance to the shower and also inside the shower. A portable shower chair goes in with me.
Furniture placement in the house is also important. I lose my balance while walking through the house so it's important that a piece of furniture, chair, couch or sturdy table, is in reach if I start to topple.
Never thought I'd need this kind of stuff but not too proud to use all tools available.
