Grab bar in the down position ready for use

Strategically placed hand supports are a simple but important way to increase safe and ease of use. Grab bars are the most commonly used support device and they come in a variety of styles from fixed wall-mounted to hinged wall-mounted to hinged floor-mounted. This picture shows a fold down grab bar attached to a floor mounted pedestal.

You can also raise an existing toilet by using a product called the Toilevator. A Toilevator is a riser that is installed between the toilet and the floor. The Toilevator will raise a toilet 3" and is relatively easy to install.

A permanent more attractive solution is to replace a standard height toilet with a new extended height fixture. Extended height toilets like the Toto Drake shown here have rim heights of 16 1/2" to 17" or about 2 1/2" to 3" higher than standard models.

• my toilet easier to use?

  Many times a toilet would be easier to use if the seat was a bit higher. A standard toilet has a rim height of about 14" which is too low for many people. A toilet seat riser is a simple, inexpensive way to raise the seat a bit. But while risers might be fine for short term needs they aren't very attractive and they can make using the toilet less convenient for other members of the family.
