Innovative Aging Episode 2: Toilet Safety: The Missing Link for Social Engagement and Happiness?

Dan Walkowiak, product and market development manager at Bemis Manufacturing, joins host Carol Chiang for a candid conversation about transforming toilet safety from a clinical necessity to a driver of independence and dignity. Together, they explore how innovations like raised toilet seats, color contrast design, and integrated bidet technology can prevent falls, ease caregiver burden, and improve quality of life. You’ll hear real-world stories of patients whose social engagement and happiness were restored by simple bathroom modifications and gain practical ideas you can start using with your own patients today.


Learning Objectives

  • Analyze the evidence around bathroom safety interventions in reducing falls and improving independence for individuals with mobility challenges or cognitive challenges
  • Determine the situations in which specific toileting and bathroom safety solutions provide the most benefit, considering patient needs, environmental factors, caregiver involvement, aesthetics, and cost
  • Solve patient case scenarios involving toileting challenges by selecting solutions that bridge the gap between clinical safety recommendations and real-life usability in home and facility settings
