Barrier-Free Shower
A curbless (zero-threshold) shower eliminates the tripping hazard of a traditional tub or shower curb. Include a built-in bench, hand-held shower head, and proper slope for drainage.
Grab Bars
Strategic placement near the toilet, shower, and tub provides critical support. Modern grab bars come in stylish designs — they don't have to look institutional.

Raised Toilet
A comfort-height toilet (17"–19" seat height) is easier to sit on and stand from. Consider adding a bidet seat for additional independence.
Roll-Under Vanity
For wheelchair users, a wall-mounted sink or vanity with open space below allows roll-up access. Insulate exposed pipes to prevent burns.
