In our home that we purchased new five years ago, we put railings on both sides of stairs in the house and carpeted stairs.  We had ha raised toilets in all bathrooms and grab bars in tub and showers and had it here.  We do not have zero entry shower, but we do have a bench and flexible shower head which could be hand-held.  The man floor doors are wide enough or a wheel chair.

A friend had a zero entry shower, but I do not see how an aide could help one without getting wet if in a wheelchair and needling a lot f assistance.  It seems to me that a traditional bath tub with a shower chair and handheld shower head with curtain is easier to deal with that a glass door set up with a bench.  I say this looking back on a hip replacement for DH a decade ago.

I do think the new bathroom floors are CRAZY for older folks as just so slippery  ones that look like glass.  We have builder tile and see how slippery tat is.I want to get the measurements in our floor done for some sort if thin Indoor/outdoor rug that will eliminate the mats we use right now.   WE paid to have wood floors throughout main level as easier to navigate in future if the rugs need to come up if one uses a walkeror wheel chair.

We have seen that a neighbor has had a temporary ramp done in their garage and has main floor living. A CCRC would definitely be an option.[/quote]
