Seat in Shower
Another inexpensive option to make the bath more accessible is to include a seat in the shower. Small stools or plastic chairs allow the bather to sit while showering and can be removed if needed.
Built-in seats or benches are a great option to consider if you’re remodeling or building a new bath. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards recommend placing a built-in bench on the wall opposite the controls. Fold-down seats attached to the wall are a great option for small showers.
Handheld Showerhead
To accommodate a standing or seated bather, install a handheld showerhead with at least a 60-inch hose. This allows for flexibility as your needs change and is a great addition to any shower system.
