Affiliate Disclosure
Some pages on this site contain affiliate links. If you buy something through one, we earn a commission. It costs you nothing extra.
That is the short version, and it is the version that matters. The rest of this page is the detail, because a disclosure you cannot check is not really a disclosure.
The programme we are in
Aging Parent Rescue is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate, Aging Parent Rescue earns from qualifying purchases.
Our Amazon tracking tag is agingparentrescue-20. You can see it in any product link on this site by hovering over the link and reading the URL. Every affiliate link we publish carries rel="nofollow sponsored", which is how a link is marked as paid so that search engines do not treat it as an endorsement.
What the commission does not change
- Your price. The commission is paid by Amazon out of its own margin. You pay the same as anyone arriving without a link.
- What we recommend. Commission rates in this category are not equal — a grab bar sits in a higher-paying category than a wheelchair — and we do not let that decide which product solves your problem. Where the right answer is the lower-paying product, or no product at all, the page says so.
- Whether a page has links at all. Most pages on this site have none, because most pages answer a measurement question and the answer is a tape measure, not a purchase.
What disqualifies a product
This is the part of a disclosure that usually goes missing, and in this subject it is the part that matters most. A product does not appear on a safety page here if:
- It is a suction-cup grab bar. These sell extremely well and they are not weight-bearing. They release without warning, usually on wet tile. They will never appear in a product box on a page about falls or safety, whatever the commission.
- It has no published load rating, or the rating cannot be matched to the specific model being linked. Grab bars, benches, risers and ramps appear in near-identical listings at 250, 300, 350 and 500 lb. Getting that pairing wrong is how someone ends up trusting a fitting that will not hold them.
- The listing does not state the dimension the page is about. A page about fitting a 30-inch tub cannot link a bench whose width is not published.
What we do not do
We do not accept payment for placement, sponsored posts, guest posts, paid link insertions, or free products in exchange for coverage. If that ever changes, this page changes first and the change will be dated.
What we cannot claim
We have not physically tested these products. We select from published specifications, load ratings and dimensions, and we say plainly which figure we matched. Anyone telling you they have personally load-tested a wall fixing in your parent’s bathroom has not been to your parent’s bathroom.
Why we tell you this
Because the US Federal Trade Commission requires that a material connection between a publisher and a product be disclosed clearly and conspicuously — and because on a site about keeping someone from falling, you are entitled to know where the money comes from before you weigh the advice.
