We are expanding our 5 x 11 bathroom outward by 3 ft. after the existing stack pipe a third of the way in, which will be able to accommodate a wheelchair if needed for the future.
My father in law has low vision, which makes him more susceptible to falling, and in now walking with a cane. Should I make the countertop 32" for wheelchair height or will that be a problem for him when he visits?
Also, which would be better - a 48 x 34 transfer shower to allow for a storage drawer at the sink plus a modest linen cabinet, or a roll in shower of 60 inches, which would eliminate the storage? I am also planning to have a 1/2 inch threshold and place the shower on top of the concrete slab.
Any suggestions?
