Empowering Mr. S to Live Safer and Stronger at Home - Goleta, CA

“I didn’t think I was at that stage yet,” Mr. S admitted, eyeing the tub he used to step into with ease. But after one small change — a warm-to-the-touch grab bar that blended right in — he found more than just stability. He found confidence, peace of mind, and the freedom to keep living life on his terms.

When we first met Mr. S, he walked with a cane and was growing increasingly frustrated with the simple act of bathing. Getting in and out of the tub felt risky — and exhausting. “I didn’t think I was there yet,” he shared. “But this is getting harder every day.”

That conversation opened the door to a deeper discussion about his Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) — rising from his favorite chair, using the restroom, steadying himself on furniture that was never meant to bear weight.

During our Home Safety Assessment, we walked the space together and pinpointed subtle but essential upgrades. We installed vinyl-coated grab bars throughout the home — by the tub, next to the toilet, and at key transitions. Not only did they match Mr. S's home décor, but the coating offered an unexpected comfort: they’re warm to the touch, unlike traditional stainless steel bars, which can feel cold, clinical, and uninviting.

These small changes made a big difference. Mr. S now moves with more ease, and his daughter rests easier knowing he’s safer at home.

At Ohai, we don’t just install grab bars — we help people live more confidently, comfortably, and independently in the homes they love.

Let’s make your home a safer place to thrive.
