Avoid slips, falls with bathroom remodel

Update your bathroom in as little as three days. These famous last words can be done. Maybe not completely, but the important things can be done. As I have been saying for years, most accidents happen in the bathroom. A quick turn and then a slip and fall. Break a hip, toe, foot or arm. It’s all bad. Especially if you’re over 55 years old. Have you noticed everything hurts more as we age? A bump is now a bruise and a bruise is now a break. That, to me, is pretty unfair. So, my recommendation is to be proactive. Call Tropical Wholesale.

Tropical can change a tub into a shower in three days or less. If all goes well, Tropical can also change the toilet and put in a non-slip vinyl floor on the fourth day. Why these things in particular? Well, because 80% of senior accidents happen getting in and out of a bathtub. Plus, another eye-opening statistic is more than 90% of seniors are hurt falling in the bathroom in general. That is why I think being proactive for the future is so important for senior quality of life. Nobody plans on falling. What I have noticed as I get older (I am now 64) is my body just cannot keep up with my mind. I mentally feel like I’m 30-40 years old, but my body doesn’t react that fast anymore. Let’s face it, when we look in the mirror as we get older, we wonder who that is in the mirror. Well, it’s time to get ahead of age for many reasons.

First, inflation. If we think we should be safe, waiting to spend money — do you really think things will get cheaper? Never in my life did I think I would see a Toyota cost $30,000-40,000, but here we are. It’s not getting cheaper and retirement income does not keep up with inflation. Call Tropical today.

Second, what is good health and quality of life worth? Being stuck in a walker or wheelchair cannot be fun. Having independence is a basic to everyone. Call Tropical for that free estimate and get ahead of the game.
