I am 76, have arthritis really bad and I have a walk in shower with a nice shower stool. Have hand held shower head with long hose. Works great for me. Not near as expensive as the walk in bath tub. You can also have bathtub cut down and made into a shower and the cost of that is usually about $1000. When they are finished it's a really nice and pretty installation. Looks like it came from the factory that way.
