Her shower is very old and has a 6 inch step up. I hold her tight but sometimes her feet get stubbed when she steps over into the shower. A few times we both almost fell. I am searching to see if we can get some kind of senior assistant due to safety so we can get a new walk in shower with out a step. So far I have had two shower companies who quoted very expensive prices on walk in showers. I have two more companies coming next week.
Thank you for any advice.

Have you looked at a shower bench? It's a seat that straddles the step. Mom sits on the outside and the seat allows her to scoot over to the shower side. It's the cheapest, safest thing I can think of. Maybe install hand rails as well if you don't have those, as well as a hand-held shower head.
