Delta makes a combination handheld & fixed mount shower head. I bought this after my previous handheld once again wiggled it's way out of it's fitting, came crashing down and smacked me in the head in the middle of shampooing my hair. I absolutely love this Delta combo shower head. You get the best of both worlds. You have the ability to have both the handheld & fixed mount going at the same time (even when you've got the handheld in your hand)or just one or the other--your choice. Plus you have the massage feature option. I will be putting one of these in the new house too. Here is a link that might be useful: Delta Handheld/Fixed Mount Combo Showerhead

Just so you know exactly what I have...The two rings that trim out where the grab bars attach to the wall each have circlular section that are a slightly warmer tone, almost satin nickel-ish compared to the rest of the chrome grab bar. It would probably normally bother me a lot, but after a total gut renovation on this old houseI've had to let go of perfection to save my sanity. Especially on things that I might only see for a moment each day when I turn the shower water on and off. Also, at the time I was shopping for grab bars, these deltas were the style, function and best price point for us. I'd buy them again. I might request replacement trim pieces after I get a kitchen counter, but right now they're way down on the renovation's prioritized to-do list.

Well it's really your decision on whether you want to trade form for function. In my case, I have never thought a bar looked badly. It simply never crossed my mind. When we built, I wanted a bar pretty badly because I came from the exact situation you were considering and I hated it. When I diverted to the handheld, the power of the spray spun the handheld around on the pivet point and I had to make sure I had it in my hand when I diverted the water. I never could use the handheld as shower head on the pivot because it wasnt in the right spot. We had four people using one shower and nothing was ever in the right spot for any of us. It was a no-brainer for us that we would never get ourselves in that "fixed position" again. With the handheld on the bar, you save yourself the cost of a showerhead PLUS a handheld. We were then able to afford a quality company, Grohe, for one of our baths. We did make a huge mistake in choosing Moen for our master bath, however. We have had nothing but problems. We only chose them originally because the polished brass (very desirable at that time) was more affordable...now I know why....

Not all Slide bars with adjustable hand showers are grab bars. It has to say so and give the amount of weight it supports. Delta has both regular Slide bars with adjustable hand showers and adjustable slide bar/grab bars. You can buy it assembled or pick your own parts to pick the shower head you like. I liked a longer shower/grab bar and searched the Delta site for their longer grab bars and the separate hand shower mount and separate hose and elbow. https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/51500 https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/51600-SS https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/51900-SS https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/56302 Separate pieces to build your own https://www.deltafaucet.com/search-results?searchTerm=grab+bars https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/U6500-RB Hand shower mount https://www.deltafaucet.com/parts-product-detail?modelNumber=U495D-SS60-PK -Hose https://www.deltafaucet.com/search-results?searchTerm=hand+shower+elbows
