Agree with all of this! My vanity will not yet allow me to install grab bars though. Another helpful gadget is a keypad entry. Fumbling with keys, especially in the dark or evening is a struggle when your hands are full.

That’s actually a great point. Vanity wins until one awkward grocery-trip-in-the-dark moment changes everything 😅

I wish someone would come up with an after market solution to the small twist knob used for turning on lamps. I find some days they are a real challenge

Do they have in-line switches where you live? They make life so much easier. Even better - as I have 5 lamps in my living room - buy special plugs that Alexa can speak to. We named each lamp and gave Lights Off/On as the main command. Works a treat...

Yes, those tiny lamp knobs are brutal sometimes. A bigger rubber grip or clip-on extender would help a lot. Or simply a different lamp, there are so many good options!
