If your mother is at all ambulatory, a regular bath seat is much easier to deal with. With the transfer chair, you cannot close the shower curtain, so you will get quite a bit of water on the bathroom floor. Depending on the layout of your bathroom, this could cause more of an issue than it's worth.
The last few years of my mother's life, she 'reluctantly' agreed to get a bath seat after using one at the hospital during one of her numerous stays. I would help her get in the tub in her robe - modesty, you know. Then I could close the curtain, let her take the robe off and put it in my hand. Then she could shower privately with a hand-held shower wand. When she was ready, I would slip her robe back to her, let her put it on, and help her back out of the tub. Easy peasy.
Good luck to you and God bless you.
You will be grateful for this in the long run. I can almost guarantee that - from my own experience.
