One comment on the shower option, you said it was small. There is a great shower chair buy Shower Buddy Chair with TIlt. We got one for my mom, what was nice is that it has a tilt to it so that when the torso is weak you can let gravity help by tilting it back a bit. But you need to be able to roll into a shower, which is the easiest way to go even in a small space so we remolded the shower a bit to make it a small lip, then a slight ramp to roll mom into the area. If you are building and can just add a ramp --onto a platform or something that might work best.

Tim is still able to get into the shower, with my help, and says that since it is small he feels more secure. I am still going to get a shower chair, and he can shower with the door open. A floor is easy to mop up. The new house has a 5'X5' roll in shower so there won't be any problems there. We just have to get through the next 2 1/2 months with out any falls.
