B looks more accessible.

Definitely Mrs. Pete's plan. We handicapped people do use the toilet, sometimes.

Option C. The other two are not handicap accessible.

I vote for C also. Well done Mrs. C!

I sometimes have to use a rollator walker so that I can sit when my knee collapses. It

is bulkier than the aluminum walking frame type walker, and I am a larger person. I can barely get past my walker to get back to the door to close it in my bathroom in the 36 x 60" space in front of my current vanity. Someone using a wheelchair who either cannot stand or needs assistance could never use a toilet room. Anyone needing assistance cannot use a toilet room unless the only assistance they need is someone directly in front of them, helping them to stand. So, it is good that you are not really attached to the toilet enclosure.

Another thing to consider, that has been driving me personally crazy for the past 6 months, is how to have a sink that works well for standing and in a wheelchair. I may need one someday, I may never need one. But I am so stiff in the morning that I cannot bend enough to wash both hands at once standing at my current sink, I have to rinse them one at a time. I want a high faucet and a normal height sink. I also want it to be reachable in a wheelchair. So it needs to allow the knees to tuck under the vanity and sink a bit, and not be too high. A normal under mount with a 3 to 4" stone counter in front of it can be hard to reach. I ended up with a semi recessed sink that bellys out in front of the counter and a custom vanity that my contractor and I will design together. Here is the sink.

The big front part is out over the edge, and with the single faucet hole just past the bowl, I am hoping it will be reachable.

There are so many considerations when you design for disability. Knowing WHAT disability you may eventually need to prepare for is vitally helpful. My arthritic knees need hand rails on both sides of a high toilet, but a person who cannot stand and uses a wheelchair will need that 5 ft radius of empty space around a toilet that the ADA calls for. That "zone of no handholds" would be torture for me! Unfortunately, the ADA does not appear to have classifications for types of disability.

I recently discovered that such a thing as Body Dryers exist. They blow warmer air and claim to dry you in less than 5 minutes. The one made for the US, the Tornado Body Dryer (originally made for and sold in Europe, but now with a US version) goes in a corner. They suggest that you put it in your shower to contain the swirling air so that it stays near you and then it also drys the shower.

The Valiryo, made in Spain and not having a US version, can be shipped here and they claim you simply hook it up to a 220 circuit to have it working fine. It appears
to blow more air and it claims to warm the air more. It also does not need a corner. Both can be installed right in the shower stall, as the working parts are high up, above the shower head. The part below the small upper "head" is all just air tube. Tornado suggests turning it on low as you shower so that it is all warmed up for when you finish. Some people also warm the shower stall with it before they shower. Using one of these adds some luxury to the shower experience, cuts down on the laundry since you are no longer washing towels, and might solve any concerns about a big shower feeling too cold if you use it while you shower. (Or, the blowing air in the shower could just make you feel colder even though it is warm air, simply because it is moving air!) The Tornado is sold to disabled people who cannot dry themselves safely. Valiryo also mentions elders in their sales pitch. They both run about $1500 and require a dedicated 220 volt line. Valiryo is sold in Europe and Asia, aiming for high end hotels, gyms, tanning salons. It drys spray tan quickly. They have huge ones for poolside use by multiple people, too.

Option C works in my opinion.

Thank you all for your feedback. We are building our forever home and just trying to be smart about our design for very long term use. My husbands discussed just being prepared for a remodel if and when needed, but I would prefer not to be making such large alterations instead of just thinking it through the first time.
