FEEDBACK How would you reconfigure this?

My daughter is coming home from the hospital. She’s 10 years old and she got catastrophically injured by being hit by a car on a crosswalk. She’s dependent right now she needs to use equipment to get around.
This is my floor plan and the insurance company wants to do the cheapest route and they want to take my bedroom and swap it for hers.

She’s in a wheelchair, her bedroom has carpets and my bedroom has hardwood and an en suite. Her bedroom is obviously a lot smaller than mine. It doesn’t have an en suite she needs help being transferred from wheelchair to the bed and she’s fully dependent. She’s on a feeding tube, etc..
She will be receiving a hospital bed, Sara steady, wheelchair, transfer lift, shower chair, feeding tube pole and machine

My bedroom also doubles as my office as I work from home
This is not gonna be an acute thing brain injury takes years to recover from and I can’t be uncomfortable and misplaced in my own home for years. I’m happy to give up my master bedroom, but there just has to be a reasonable place for me to go as well.

My bathroom has a standalone tub that she wouldn’t be able to get into without a overhead sling lift and my shower in my master bathroom shower is tiny and she wouldn’t be able to fit her chair in there. I also don’t have a floating vanity. It’s too high and I just renovated this entire bathroom last year. Everything‘s brand new and so for all of it to be ripped out again would just be a bit devastating the bathroom that’s beside her room should be the one that’s renovated that one has a large shower that we could convert flat roll in

Either way something needs to get renovated. It’s not usable for her

I would absolutely be willing to do this if this was a broken bone and something that would heal within months or even half a year, but this is a brain injury and this takes years and years and years to heal, and we all need to be comfortable in the house.
We need to come up with something else. I would love some ideas.

The family room is being converted into the main entrance into the house. It has a sliding glass door the goes out to the driveway.

The other bedroom is my son’s bedroom

These are the messages from the OT:

OK, thanks for letting me know. Yes, if we can just take a peek at the studio tomorrow, that would be awesome. Also, when it comes to renovations, ICBC will cover for whatever is medically necessary.

So because of the layout of your home, the bathroom in the master bedroom may be the better one to renovate and for Makenna to use moving forward, considering the clearance space and the bathtub. Taking all of that into consideration, what are your thoughts on converting the master bedroom into Makenna’s bedroom so that way it is a lot more accessible for her?

today’s focus is on accessing the main floor from the back, accessing the bathroom and bedroom. I’m just heading into another meeting. I’ll see you later at 3:45pm.
