How do walk-in tubs with slip-resistant surfaces prevent falls for elderly caregivers?

Slip-resistant surfaces and well-positioned support bars can make assisted bathing more manageable, but they do not prevent every caregiver or bather fall. Check space beside the walk-in tub, door movement and the helper's reach. Keep supplies accessible and follow the manufacturer's cleaning instructions so residue does not make the surface slippery. A transfer assessment may identify a shower or another bathing arrangement as a better fit.
