Abstract
A handle assembly has a first handle with first and second end regions connected to and fixed relative to first and second mounts on a wall, respectively. A second handle extends longitudinally between third and fourth end regions, with the third end region connected to the first end region of the first handle. The first and second handles each have surfaces for grasping by a user. A position of the second grab bar is adjustable relative to the first grab bar by at least one of one of pivoting the second grab bar about the longitudinal axis of the first grab bar, pivoting the second grab bar about a horizontal axis adjacent to the first end region of the first grab bar, and sliding the second grab bar along the first grab bar. A method of installing the handle assembly is also provided.
