I'm new to working in acute care after several years in pediatrics, so I'm trying to get the hang of things. As far as grab bars, is there a good resource to consult for where they should be located, and how high, and any other considerations besides those already mentioned?
And are there any other "Ugh, I can't believe the acute care therapist told them to get THAT!" items that I should be aware of?

If they say they "know someone," I then write down the important considerations, such as installing into studs of wall, type of bars I prefer for their particular situation, etc., and I will mark in pencil the approximate height and location of where I want the bar(s) to go.
