No matter what we do the
restroom is still a dangerous place for the elderlies to utilize alone. Due to
old age, they will have mobility problems
and the smallest things such as the height of the toilet bowl can post as a
problem for them. Even with all the improvement that we can possibly install in
the restroom for the elderlies to be safer,
it is still not enough. With one slip or fall,
it will result in serious injury for the rest of their lives or even worse
which is death. 
With our research thus far
the main cause of the accident in the
restroom not only for the elderlies but for everyone is the flooring. When wet,
the flooring will definitely become slippery enough for any unaware person to
slip and fall. A lot of restrooms
nowadays have a warning sign saying that we should not wet the floor but
expectedly we will do it sometimes.
With daily cleaning for the restroom, they will have to eventually wet the
floor to clean it. The air blowing machine can be used to blow dry the floor
after the cleaner has done their jobs but
that is only after the cleaning for a certain period of time. There is separate public restroom for the
disabilities and elderlies but people will use them regardless.
