When considering shower grab bar placement, if possible, we recommend a few simulations with the person who will be using the grab bars. Have the person step into and out of the shower and while in the shower, have the person pretend to shower and wash their hair, grab the shampoo bottles, and pretend to twist the shower handles. This full shower simulation will help you notice exactly where grab bars should be placed to provide the most assistance to the individual. Shower grab bar placement ultimately comes down to the user’s preference for hand grip location, the size of the shower, shower type (walk-in vs. tub combination), and the number of shower walls.
