One of the best ways to make your bathroom more accessible is to fix some rails or handles.2. Rails can also be added near the shower and in other places in the bathroom to make the whole room a lot more accessible.
It is hard to predict how much your parents are going to be able to walk when they are older, so you need to make sure that you are thinking about the future. 3. If they need to use a wheelchair then they will find that with small entrances, they won’t be able to get the wheelchair through.
4. This is because as they get older, their eyesight can start to worsen and so they need a little more light to be able to see things. Think about fixing some overhead lighting as well as lights beside important things in the bathroom. This will help to prevent any sort of trips or falls and they will be able to feel a lot safer when they are using your bathroom in the future.

Can I talk about salary at work? In a word:yes.As HR company Insperity put it in a recent blog post:Can your employees discuss their salaries or wages with their co-workers? Yes.Even if you have a company policy against it? Yes.
The freedom to discuss your salary at work is a protected right under federal labor law.The National Labor Relations Act of 1935 protects your right to discuss the conditions of your employment,including issues related to safety and pay,even when you're not protected by a union.
Talking about salary with colleagues can be uncomfortable,since there's such a taboo about discussing money matters,but it's an important step towards achieving equal pay for equal work.One barrier,however,stems from how we think of our own financial worth.Too many people I talk to wrongly consider their salary a reflection of their worthiness,a statement about their skills,experience,or value.At the end of the day,if we can all separate our self-worth from our salaries a bit more,it'll become easier to talk frankly with our colleagues.
Asking about money outright can be tough,so one trick I've picked up along the way is to ask for your colleagues to confirm or deny.For instance,you might volunteer your salary first and ask“Does that sound about right to you?”by way of comparison.Or,let's say you're interviewing for a promotion to become a manager.You might ask a fellow manager about the kind of salary you should expect by saying,“I'm seeing salaries for this kind of position ranging from $65,000 to$70,000—does that seem accurate to you?”This way,even if your colleague isn't comfortable sharing their salary outright,they can help you identify if your expectations are on point or way off.
