Default Disability access baths?

I'm in discussions with an elderly customer who has had major surgery
to her foot and is likely to require the same procedure to her other
foot, sometime in the future. She has trouble getting in and out of
her bath and has asked me to consider ways to remodel her bathroom to
make things easier for her.

Obviously, one of the options is the install a bath with a door and
which has been specifically designed for people with such needs.
Another suggestion is to install a motorised seat that slides over the
bath and then lowers into the water etc.

Does anyone here have any experience with these systems and could
possibly recommend a product (and/or manufacturer) that has a good
reputation? I'd also like to show her some options that have a bit of
style and don't look as ugly as most of those I have seen so far.
Unfortunately, this type of product will completely change the look of
her bathroom and I want to keep the "medical" look down to an absolute
minimum!

Any advice would be very welcome.
Thanks a bunch.

d.
