I don't think I am familiar with the hospital ones, but maybe? I completely agree with this poster. We bought our house in April, and had heated towel racks (and a few other things) installed them. We enjoyed them even forging the summer. But now that the temperatures are dropping? I'm about to stand on street corners and preach about them. Seriously adds luxury to every single day.
While you can get cheap ones for under a hundred, I'd recommend something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/HEATGENE-Warmer-Radiant-Curved-Heater/dp/B07JMVXG4Q
That's in my husband's bathroom and works wonderfully.
first things first: i'm the realest
towel heater wall mounted, free standing, wall mounted obviously being a bit more permanent (but people like that ish)
like the guy below just said, get rid of ugly wire shelving. you can do this with IKEA, Lowe's, Home Depot, Easy Track, Wayfair, Modular Closet, or look for local woodworkers
Sure. Just replace the switch with a Homekit enabled switch. The one in your post looks similar to this one in my neighbor's house: https://www.amazon.com/SHARNDY-Warmers-Heated-ETW13-2A-Bathroom/dp/B00S4FJ6YY/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1551004089&sr=8-4&keywords=heated+towel+rail . In her house, this is just plugged into an outlet, located in the wall, that's turned on/off by a regular switch. I replaced the original switch with a Lutron Caseta switch and now the towel warmer comes on via schedule for her.
I have this floor standing model: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0016L5H0U/ref=twister_B00F3X79IU?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1, and it's plugged into a VOCOlinc Smartbar:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NJRS8TX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Mine also turns on and off via a schedule. In addition, I also placed an Aqara water sensor in my shower, so when it gets wet, the water sensor turns on tower warmer if it's not already on and it turns off after 2 hours.
All the posters have given great advice. Lets talk about the build itself.
Permits must be pulled for this job. It is to protect you, and those that come after you.
Any damaged wood to be replaced. Plumbing to be run will be inspected and approved before close-up. Same for the electrical.
I know you are getting a shower surround kit, and that is fine. Some kits can be screwed directly to the studs. This does not provide for a containment area should the shower leak. So I suggest that you use cement board or it's equivalent in the shower stall. NO sheetrock to be allowed in that area. It is my recommendation that you Redgard the cement board before the shower goes in, as a back-up in case it leaks. Doesn't cost much, but could limit damage in the future. This is above code, but you'd have to decide if you want or need this protection. Most builders would not do this, because time is money.
All other areas get green or purple mold-resistant drywall. If the shower gets a light, it must be rated for wet environments. The exhaust fan must use the manufacturer's recommended ducting, and be vented to the exterior of the home, and not the attic. May need to be insulated.
They should use no-rust fasteners for the sheetrock. And the tape for the seams should also be mold-resistant. Ask for a smooth finish on all the walls, for easy wipe down. I also recommend a dedicated bathroom paint, that has a moldicide built into it.
Trim along the floor should be PVC, not wood. In fact, all the trim in the bathroom should be mold resistant, but that may not be practical.
For the future, you may want to spec that support blocking be installed in the shower framework so that handholds, and a fold down seat, can be installed down the road. You may also want an outlet installed next to the toilet, so that a bidet can be installed on the toilet.
Additionally, you may want an outlet next to the towel rack, so that you can install one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Amba-RWH-CB-Radiant-Hardwired-Brushed/dp/B00B4UC3EQ
You will make her very happy if you do.
Put the bathroom lights on a dimmer, for those late night visits to the 'loo. You may also want the exhaust fan on a timer or humidity sensor, so that your new bathroom can dry out after a shower.
~$200 on Amazon
Get one of these!!!
or, you know, get a 70 dollar towel warmer instead.
Fold 'em up the night before and toss them in HERE. Put it on ONE OF THESE. Done.
I soak, carefully squeeze, and roll in a towel to remove as much moisture as possible. I only pin lacework. I dry my sweaters, etc. on a mesh sweater drying rack, carefully straightening seams, edges, and adjusting for size. I find that wool and its blends dries pretty quickly. For cotton and its blends, or for wool if it is very humid out, when it is mostly dry and unlike to stretch out from a brief hang, I give it a few hours folded over my towel warmer that I actually bought to gently dry my socks.
Well, there are some options.
I was on a bathroom remodeling show and was given this one as one of the items. They also did some cool things with led lights behind the walls. I wouldn't know if it is worth the price it's listed for, but since I paid nothing for it, I kinda like it. Currently it's just gathering dust. I haven't found much of a use for it other than one or two times. Perhaps once winter rolls around it'll be more useful.
There's more variation among towel warmer racks as far as style goes. I don't know how close putting damp towels on one would be to a steamer though.

I guess you could use something like this and cover her with a warm towel while changing her.
Yep - turns out Brookstone is more expensive than I assumed, here's a cheaper comparable one.
