Question Wheelchair accessible shower

We will need to remodel a bathroom rather quickly after we move into our new house. The bathtub will need to be removed and a roll in shower be installed. Does anyone know of a contractor who has experience with this type of ADA remodel?

Be sure to pay attention to the space you have to move the wheelchair around the whole bathroom.
Pay attention to how slippery the floor might be. We have tile and it is not slippery. Maybe it is the finish.
Consider a shower wand on a hose in addition to regular shower head.
Be sure to add grab bars and maybe a seat if you have room.
The placement of the on/off control maybe on a different wall than the shower head to make it easier to turn on without getting wet.
