My great-aunt lived with my grandparents when I was growing up. She was a widow in her late fifties, who was overweight and suffering from Parkinson’s disease. Even though she had an apartment in the basement, she still had to make it up stairs for meals. Slowly but surely she would make it to the table, but there was always the worry that she would fall.
Her limited mobility eventually became an issue with regard to her hygiene. As the older sister, my grandmother would make sure that she would bathe every few days. She did not have a shower chair or a tub rail or a grab bar, as these items were not readily available 25-30 years ago. She could not stand in the shower, so my mom, my grandma, and I would lower her into the tub and then have to get her back out again when she was finished. How wonderful it would have been for her to privately raise and lower herself into the tub with a bath lift. She would have appreciated the independence of a bath lift and been able to clean herself more often. A bath lift is a wonderful invention for both caregiver and those receiving care.
There is nothing more relaxing than a soak in a steamy, bubbly tub of water. Many physical therapies use water as a basis of treatment. What if limited mobility has made it impossible to use the bath tub without someone to help you get back out? What if you live alone and don’t have anyone to help you out of the tub?
A bath lift is the answer. With a bath lift, an individual sits in the seat and is lowered into the water. Many of these seats can reach depths almost to the bottom of the tub, so you have nearly all of the benefit of the water’s depth without the worry of how you are getting back out.
There are many styles of bath lifts available. Several designs offer rechargeable remote controls. Many bath lifts also offer reclining capabilities. Don’t give up on your bath time relaxation—get a bath lift today.
Bath Lift or Walk-in Tub: Which is Right for You?
You love to soak in the tub, but lately you’ve noticed that it is becoming increasingly more difficult to get in to and out of the tub. You’ve researched your options and have narrowed your choices to either a bath lift or a walk-in tub. Which one is right for you?
Walk-in tubs are a great innovation in bath safety, but they have several disadvantages. First, walk-in tubs are expensive. Second, walk-in tubs need to be installed by a plumber or a contractor, which constitutes more expense for labor as well as a time delay waiting for installation. A third disadvantage is that the walk-in tub is only as good as the seal on the door. If the seal malfunctions there would be property damage due to leaking water. Lastly, the installation of a walk-in tub is a permanent renovation to your home. This is not a problem if you own your home and are planning to stay there for a while, but what if you rent? You cannot make renovations like this without violating your lease. What if you need to move in with your family? Now your walk-in tub is still at your house and you can’t soak anyhow!
A bath lift is a great alternative to a walk-in tub. It needs no installation—you can use it immediately. It is less expensive and you can take it with you if you leave your current home. Soaking is a snap with a bath lift!
Calgon take me away! Everyone thirty and over remembers the commercials fondly. The plot was always the same–a frazzled mom juggles a bag of groceries while answering the phone and refereeing a dispute between her children while the dog nearly knocks her over. She needs to relax so she retires to her bathroom to soak in the tub.
Sometimes we get so caught up in day to day life and the necessity of a bath or shower that we forget about the rejuvenating and restorative powers of water. The warm sudsy water envelopes you and alleviates the stress of your day. The shower spray can pound the stress from your shoulders. Now imagine having a health or mobility issue that makes such relaxation impossible.
There are so many options to enable continued enjoyment of a bath, while making it a safe experience. A bath lift is one way to still soak in the tub without the worry of how you will get back out of the bath. You can raise or lower yourself into the water and feel completely safe. No anxiety or stress–just the ability to independently take care of your hygiene while escaping the real world for a moment.
People with severe mobility problems often have to redesign many rooms in their home to make objects accessible and easy-to-use. In many locations, this can be achieved by adding a ramp or lowering the height of essential tools. For areas such as the bathroom, however, a complete remodel is often considered.
This invasive step is obviously a last resort, so it is crucial that you weigh all of the viable options before breaking ground. Lift chairs, for example, can often resolve many of the issues inherent with limited mobility. A lift chair will allow a person to easily get in and out of the tub and often can save the hassle and cost of completely redesigning the entire bathroom.
