The "age in place" market opens up to contractors.
Homes become increasingly difficult to navigate as homeowners age. And no where else is that more
apparent than in the bathroom. With wet tile and porcelain, slippery soap messes and a roomful of
hard, unforgiving surfaces, the bathroom has been called the most dangerous room in the house.
"Doomsday" statistics inform us that every five seconds, someone is injured in a household accident,
and bathrooms can be even more hazardous to the elderly and those with physical impairments. But
the word "accident" implies a lack of control over the situation, and bathroom accidents are highly
preventable.
