Hi, My dad's AL facility called to recommend I get some non-slip bath rugs for him as he's been falling about every week.. and it always seems to be in the bathroom. Any recommendations for a good bathroom non-slip rug for outside of the shower and near the toilet? I've been on Amazon but as you know reviews are always up and down. The AL suggested something "grippy" on the top but I'm not sure that would help or hinder falls. Thanks!

They need to be hung up to dry between uses and laying on the floor, they takes ages--I sewed rings to the top and put suction cup hooks in the shower on the wall. They dry pretty quickly and don't get mildewed.
Got mine at B, B & Beyond, but a lot of places carry them.
"Loopy" type bath rugs, while looking 'nicer' can carry a tripping hazard with them. Any bath rug should have a very low profile. My mom cant lift her foot 1" and so all her rugs are flat to the ground...in places she's allowed to have throw rugs.
