Quick answer
The best aging-in-place shower ideas make bathing safer and easier while still looking like a beautiful bathroom: a curbless or low-threshold entry, a built-in bench, a handheld shower on a slide bar, slip-resistant surfaces, better lighting, and attractive grab bars (or wall reinforcement so they can be added later). Designed well, none of it reads as medical.
Design first, then support
Start with a clean, open shower design, then integrate the safety features so they belong to the design. Grab bars now come in finishes that match your fixtures; benches can be built in; curbless entry looks spa-like.
Plan for the future
Even if you don't need grab bars yet, adding wall blocking during the remodel means they can be installed exactly where needed later without opening the wall again.
