Factors that increase danger
- Blood drainage to the brain during bathing, annoyed by hot water.
- Heat loss when leaving the shower, leading to chills.
- Slippery surfaces without handholds or non-slip mats.
Measures for a safe shower

1. Transform the schedule:
- Select to shower between mid-morning and mid-afternoon, when blood pressure is most stable.
2. Prior preparation:
- Warm up the bathroom before entering.
- Stay well hydrated; drink a glass of water a few minutes beforehand.
- Do simple warm-up exercises (e.g., seated stretches).
3. Adaptation during bathing:
- Maintain the water temperature slightly warm rather than hot.
- Blend non-slip footrests and mats with suction cups .
- Install grab bars near the shower and toilet.
4. Support and supervision:
- Have a companion, if possible, or use an intercom to call for help.
- Carry a personal alert device, such as an emergency button.
5. Safe equipment:
- Apply a folding shower seat if the person has limited mobility.
- Consider accessories such as a thermostatic faucet that prevents unexpected changes in temperature.
Additional safety tips
