Re the bathtub Grab Rail Bar.... be VERY careful... read the fine print. These are only to steady a standing person. If you are getting down into, or up out of, the tub, these can be exceeding dangerous as they are not designed to take the forces needed to assist these movements. They take vertical force but will not take the horizontal forces or torques from other movements.
