A grab bar where the hands already go3 options
People steady themselves on a towel rail, a basin edge or a shower door, and none of those are fixed to hold a person's weight. A proper bar in the same place is the single highest-value change in the house.
- Check the weight rating and how it fixes - a screwed bar into a stud or a proper fixing is what holds; a suction bar is for balance only and must never be trusted as a fall-stopper
- Look for a knurled or textured surface, which grips a wet hand

A non-slip mat inside the tub or shower3 options
A wet, glazed tub floor is the most slippery surface in the house, and it is the one someone gets into on one leg. A mat is the cheapest item here and it addresses the highest-risk square metre.
- Check the suction cups cover most of the mat, not just the corners, and that the size fits your tub floor
- Look for a version rated for a textured or non-flat tub if yours is not smooth

A shower chair or bench3 options
Standing for a whole shower is tiring after a fall, and tiredness is when the next one happens. Sitting turns a risky five minutes into an ordinary one, and it makes washing possible without help.
- Check the weight capacity and whether the height adjusts
- A back and arms make getting up easier; a transfer bench is the version for a tub you have to step over rather than walk into

A handheld shower head on a long hose3 options
Once someone is sitting down, a fixed head pointed at head height is useless. A handheld one on a long hose is what makes the shower chair actually work, and the two are really one purchase.
- Check the hose length, because the standard one is too short to reach someone seated
- Look for a slide bar or a holder so it can be parked, and check it fits a standard thread before choosing

A raised toilet seat or a frame3 options
Lowering and rising from a standard-height toilet uses the exact muscles and joints most affected after a fall, a hip operation or a long stay in a bed. Raising the height by a few inches removes most of the effort.
- Check it locks to your toilet rather than resting on it, and match the shape - round and elongated bowls are different
- A version with arms gives something to push up from, which the seat alone does not

Night lights along the route to the bathroom3 options
A large share of falls at home happen at night, on the way to the bathroom, in a house the person knows perfectly well in daylight. Light on that route is a change you make once and never think about again.
- Motion-activated with a dusk sensor, so nothing has to be switched
- Check they are bright enough to show a floor edge but dim enough not to wake the household, and put one in each room on the route rather than one in the hall

Removing the trip hazards you stopped seeing3 options
Loose rug edges, a curled mat corner and a runner that slides are the things people trip on, and the residents of a house stop noticing them entirely. Rug tape is a twenty-minute job that removes several of them.
- Check the tape is rated for your floor type, since some adhesives lift a finish
- Look for a removable version if the floor is rented or refinished

A reacher grabber3 options
Bending to the floor and reaching to a top shelf are both things to avoid for a while, and both are things people do without thinking twenty times a day. A grabber removes the temptation entirely.
- A 32-inch length suits most rooms; a shorter one is easier to handle in a car or a chair
- Look for a rotating head and a magnetic tip, which catches keys and coins off a hard floor

A bed rail or an assist handle3 options
Getting in and out of a bed is a transfer, and a transfer is where a lot of second falls happen. A rail gives something fixed to pull against instead of a mattress edge that moves.
- Check how it fixes - some go under the mattress, some fix to the frame, and they are not equally stable on every bed
- Check the height against the mattress depth, because a thick mattress makes a short rail useless

A chair riser or a firm cushion3 options
A deep, soft sofa is the hardest seat in the house to get out of. Raising the seat height, or replacing a collapsed cushion with a firm one, is often the difference between independent and needing a hand every time.
- Check the weight rating and that the riser suits the leg shape of the chair
- For a cushion, high-density foam holds up where a soft one collapses in a week and puts you back where you started

Non-slip socks and firm slippers3 options
Socks on a wood or tile floor are the indoor equivalent of ice. Grip on the sole is a small change to something worn every day, which is exactly the kind of change that actually gets used.
- Look for grip on both the sole and the top if the person turns a lot in bed
- For slippers, a firm heel that stays up beats a backless pair, which is a trip hazard in itself

A transfer belt3 options
If you are helping someone stand, pulling on an arm or under a shoulder can hurt them and is unstable for you. A belt round the waist gives a proper handhold, which is what a nurse or a therapist uses.
- Check the length range fits, and look for handles rather than a plain belt, which is much easier to hold
- A quick-release buckle matters if it has to come off fast

A pill organiser with morning and night3 options
Coming out of a hospital usually means more medications than went in, on a schedule nobody has memorised. An organiser turns a memory problem into something anyone in the house can check at a glance.
- Look for AM and PM compartments and large, easy-open lids, which matter for stiff or weak hands
- Check the compartment size takes the largest tablet in the set

A phone that can be answered from a chair3 options
A phone across the room is a reason to get up quickly, which is exactly what you are trying to avoid. A handset kept beside the chair and the bed removes several rushed trips a day.
- Look for large buttons, an amplified handset and a base with an intercom or a locator button
- Check how many handsets are included, because you want one by the chair and one by the bed

A rollator with a seat3 options
A frame you carry is tiring; a rollator rolls and, more importantly, has a seat, which means a walk to the kitchen can include a rest. The seat is what turns a walking aid into something that increases how far someone goes.
- Check the handle height range against the person's height and the weight capacity
- Look for a bag or basket, because carrying anything while using a walker is otherwise impossible

Reusable cold packs3 options
Bruising after a fall is usually the longest-lasting part, and a bag of frozen peas is the thing every household improvises with and then wants back for dinner. Proper packs stay flexible when frozen.
- Look for gel packs that stay pliable at freezer temperature, so they wrap round a joint
- Check they come with a cloth cover, because bare gel on skin causes its own damage
