If the person rents an apartment or home, talk to the property owner about these safety features. Always check the water temperature before assisting someone in the tub or shower. Install non-slip bath, shower mats and grab bars. Do routine checks for any safety hazards and report immediately. Seek immediate medical treatment for burns. Do not wait.
