* Place a non-skid bathmat (with a rubber base) on the floor in front of the shower or bath;
* Place a shower seat in the shower so the person can sit down if necessary;
* Always check the temperature of the water in the bath or shower before the elderly person gets in;
* If the elderly person prefers to bath or shower on their own, make sure they do not lock the bathroom door.
