A hand held shower is preferable to a fixed showerhead for use by standing and seated users. For Water valves and other controls should be located on an end wall and offset toward the outside of the tub. This position eliminates the need to bend and stretch to reach the controls from outside the tub.

Transfers to a tub or shower seat can be very hazardous. Grab bars should be securely mountged on the walls or tub side to provide support.
