Grab bar answer

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 establishes accessibility standards. Section 4.16.4 addresses Grab Bars, and provides Figure 29 which answers your question. See this link: http://www.ohc.ok.gov/ada_ta/cdpages/htm_pubs/longdes/fig29des.htm

Please note that the Americans with Disabilities Act only applies to public buildings. Private residential homes are excluded from being required to follow ADA guidelines. The ADA guidelines are good places to start but the ultimate placement of a grab bar in your home is at the discretion of the user.
