Bath Lifts

Bath lifts are products used by people who cannot get into or come out from a bath using boards, seats and rails. Bath lifts are high tech items and are typically more expensive than other bathing accessories, but offer full service and aid to people with mobility problems. Bath lifts take less room than special tubs and baths and are often recommended by occupational therapists for people who have problems moving, or who can move just a little and cannot keep themselves steady.

Bath lifts come in several different types. There are portable bath lifts as well. Users of portable bath lifts should be able to move enough to get onto the seat from one side of the bath to the other, and move their legs, or lift them over the sides and rim of the tub. There are also fixed bath lifts, either manual or electric. Most of these bath lifts have seats allowing people to get onto while outside the tub. These bath lifts are solid and stable, supported by a single column attached to the floor.

Manual bath lifts are usually wound up and down by hands. This means that a second person should be around when the user tries to enter the tub. In some cases, when the users can move their arms properly, they can do the entire drill themselves. They need to sit on the seat and turn the handle in order to raise the seat. Then they have to swing the seat of the bath lifts and turn the handle to lower the seat where they want. The handles in these bath lifts are usually placed in different positions, depending on who is operating them, but in general are quite easy to turn and use. These bath lifts may cost close to £1,000.

If you have bigger problems with movement, you can opt for baths with built in bath lifts. These bath lifts provide the best support  but if you can afford the slightly higher price tag they can be truly beneficial.
