What is the riskiest time to shower after age 70?

Add a grab bar or bath chair to prevent slips.
Don’t lock the door completely so someone can intervene quickly if needed.
And if you’ve ever experienced a fainting spell, ask a loved one to stay nearby.
A protective habit:
The bathroom is one of the most accident-prone places in the house, especially for seniors. By simply adjusting the time and conditions of your bath, you significantly reduce the risk of falls or fainting.

Taking care of yourself also means knowing when to do it. After all, safety often begins with the simplest actions.
