You’re welcome 😉. I did a lot of research on them.
I submitted a “ADA Reasonable Health Accommodation” to my current complex.
They had a company installed my grab bars.
My prior complex....a prior tenant had grab bars installed. The grab bars have definitely came in handy
for me.

I’m in the hospital often. I was discharged last
Halloween (prior to having the grab bars). In the middle of the night I went to the restroom. I ended up falling in the restroom. I was heavily medicated and because I had to use my epipen. Plus had side effects from using the epipen.
Now I keep my cane near my bed 🛌 it helps steady myself. I’ve been trying to find a touch lamp. I have a
lamp on my nightstand however I can’t reach the turn switch. I started sleeping with a flashlight 🔦 to find the switch on my lamp. Lol 😂
