If you or someone you love is mobility impaired, then taking a bath is likely not a very easy task. Unless you have a roll in shower, which can be very expensive, it can often be very hard to get into the bath tub without any help. If you are taking care of a family member, than bath time can be very hard on your back. If you are ready to regain your independence and privacy than a bath lift is right for you.
Bath lifts are incredibly easy to install, often they can be set up in just a few minutes. Utilizing a swivel chair, bath lifts are able to raise and lower an individual so that they can take and enjoy a nice bath. These devices can be operated by a single individual so it is now possible to reclaim your bathtub. The swivel chair makes it very easy to enter and exit the lift.
Depending on the unit it is possible to get a headrest or lap belts, which depending on the situation can be very helpful. Models that utilize batteries are designed to ensure that a proper charge is maintained. This way you never have to worry about not having enough power to lift out of the bathtub. These units will not lower you into the bathtub unless there is a sufficient charge to raise you back out.
Bath lifts allow you to take a bath by your self and are highly engineered to promote safety and reliability for many years. Rather than spending thousands and thousands on building a new handicapped accessible shower, you can spend a fraction of that on a new bath lift.
