If you used to take pride in the way you looked and in always being well turned out, then having to exist unshaven and with disheveled hair can be very upsetting. Bathrooms are not only for showering and washing so it's not just wheelchair accessible showers you need. You also need to make sure that the sink is accessible and that anything you need to use to shave and do your teeth is within reach. This way you can ensure that you stay turned out and that way retain a sense of pride over the way you look. You'll find that people are especially impressed if you manage to keep your appearances up under the circumstances and it's a really great way of actually assuring everyone that you're still okay and that you're adapting well – if you let yourself go then it can look like a cry for help.
Another thing you'll want to consider, and another thing that makes roll in showers so important is smell – and you don't want to find yourself starting to smell because you are unable to wash yourself.
