As the population ages, home safety for seniors has become an increasingly important issue.
According to statistics from the Ministry of Health and Welfare, falls are the second leading cause of accidental injury death among people over 65 years old.
Among these falls, the bathroom is one of the high-risk areas for accidents. The National Health Interview Survey of the National Health Administration shows that the places where the elderly fall indoors are in the order of bedroom, living room, and bathroom. Although the proportion of falls in the bathroom does not seem to be the highest, due to the special characteristics of the bathroom environment - slippery floors, narrow spaces, and temperature changes, any fall in the bathroom may have serious consequences.
