Doesn't look like you have room from what I can see of the sideways picture. Is there another area?

It’s hard to see but there are cabinets on the opposite wall from the sinks that could be eliminated

  You would have to do some exploring to see if you can find a curbless shower pan that will fit in the space of your cabinets, and if this for someone in a wheelchair be long enough to accomodate a bench at one end to transfer too or to navigate with a shower chair. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dtools&field-keywords=wedi+shower+base
  Then you want to add a shower hose that is on a sliding bar up and down, has a water control on the hand unit... for better access.... https://www.amazon.com/Drill-Free-Stainless-Showerhead-6-setting-Revolutionary/dp/B01MT3XKX6/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1531271911&sr=8-12&keywords=handicap+shower+head+with+long+hose
  Add a couple stability bars for safety and transfers.
  I like the long linear drain at the back of the shower pan.

  To save space you could use resin panels instead of tile for the walls. or buy a complete shower enclosure.

Your best bet looks to be the cabinets behind the tub. If your plumbing is on the shared wall it could also save you money to do it there as the plumbing could be shared to the shower and the tub.
