• why reaching triggers many bathroom falls
• towel placement within arm’s reach and near grab bars
• toilet paper in the sweet spot at hand level
• safe zone storage from shoulder to hip height
• reliable caddies, shelves, and strong suction organizers
• backups kept close so no risky restocking
• the close-eyes reach test for home setup
• aging bodies need supportive layouts, not strain
