Default Installing grab bars in an acrylic shower

I've got to install some grab bars in the shower for mom. I've seen the
kind that mount with suction cups but we need something sturdier.

Can anyone who has installed some give me pointers? I am thinking what I
will need would be a:

level
drill
caulk
stud finder
measuring tape

and that I should look for the kind with long screws that will bite into the
(hopefully) wooden studs that should be mounted on 16" centers. I'd
appreciate any thoughts or input and/or sources for the grab bars. Not sure
if the local Home Depot or Lowe's handles such things. I bought clamp on
tub bars there, but don't recall seeing screw-in bars.

TIA
