    The primary things you will want for accessibility are grab bars and smooth, solid floors. Make sure to attach grab bars to wall studs for security and add non-slip treads to the bottom of the shower. If you need a shower seat, look for one that attaches to the wall and folds down. Reorganizing to place most-used items within reach is also helpful. You might want to check with your local building inspector to learn the code requirements in your area.

    For a small shower, they make a fold down teak shower seat. You can get a handheld shower head (put in two holders, one up where it's supposed to be and a second holder low so it can be reached if someone is sitting on the seat). Put in grab bars. If the threshold is to high, see about having it lowered.
