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.
