equipped/adapted for disabled/handicapped
This is what it normally means in Spain. In the Spanish version, it's often seen like this with no mention of "discapacitados", etc.

integrated
Estoy seguro que "integrated" es el término correcto que debes utilizar. Este término es muy común en los Estados Unidos cuando se habla como por ejemplo, en el caso del baño, el mismo no está separado del resto de la casa o departamento. "Integrated" el baño está junto a la recámara (como un ejemplo). El mobiliario está "integrated" (incluído), etc.

Ok, I see... then, you could use "retrofitted/modified/adapted"
Your choice,
Cheers!

Note from asker:
| I originally thought the same thing - that the bathroom was within or integrated. My problem is that this is talking about a Nursing Home and it can well be that it refers to a bathroom that is adapted to the needs of the resident. |

Spanish term (edited):
adaptados
mobility-friendly
I've used this in the past for a similar text.
Suerte :)

Just a note to explain why I chose "mobility-friendly" over "adapted". To me, "adapted" (or in particular "specially adapted") can have negative connotations for the people these facilities are "adapted" for... As in, the idea that it needs to be adapted because the person has "special needs", which people often aren't comfortable with.
Since my text was a marketing text too, I chose "mobility-friendly" to avoid this potential negativity.

baño adaptado para silla de ruedas = wheelchair accesible bathroom
baño adaptado para minusválidos o personas con discapacidad = handicapped-adapted bathroom
Como no se sabe a qué se están refiriendo y el término es muy genérico, mi sugerencia es:
baño adaptado = adapted bathroom (aquí lo traducen así: http://www.via-arquitectura.net/arav07/058-arav07.htm)
