Just a comment about putting in the walk-in shower. If you have the space consider a rain head shower at the end where you will stand and a separate hand held unit where you put the seat. We had done this when we did our major remodel and it has been a life saver as I subsequently had both hip and knee replacement surgeries and make use of the seat and hand unit all the time
Oh, that's good advice, although I am not sure it will be big enough. But I can at least see if there can be a handheld attachment that would reach the seat.
Jake and I are doing this to the flat in London. We're even widening a couple of doors to be wheelchair workable. We both like the idea of being able to stay in our home.
You shouldn't have a problem with the handheld reaching the seat. Mine does fine.
For now we are going to try to age in place, in part because our daughter right now would love to move back to San Diego from rainy Pacific Northwest when her kids are grown, and the only way she would be able to afford this is to with the family home that is now worth at least four times what we paid for it!! We pretty much done everything else it needs but the bathrooms! And of course we love the house, the neighborhood, and the weather!
