Adding an exterior wheelchair lift to gain access to your home is a great first step to making your home accessible for all family members and visitors. The next step should be making your bathroom accessible since this room can be the most difficult to use when you have limited mobility or depend on a wheelchair or walker to get around. If possible a main floor bathroom should be accessible.
Adding a curbless or barrier free shower will greatly reduce the dangers of slips and falls while transitioning into a shower. Adding grab bars and a shower bench will make this even safer.
