Bath Chair Lift

For individuals with mobility limitations, the washroom or bathroom can be a highly dangerous place. It is possible for senior citizens to slip and fall in the shower or tub, causing severe injury. Luckily, a bath chair lift is a great solution for anyone concerned about these types of injuries. You will find a variety of lifts made for bathroom use for sale at online retailers and at brick and mortar medical supply stores. These chairs are affordable for most, and may even be covered by your insurance policy. It all depends on the specifics of your plan and whether or not it helps pay for home medical supplies.


Bath chairs designed for lifting are made a little differently than traditional lift chairs. They have to be, because they are made for a wet environment and must be crafted from waterproof materials. In addition to being crafted from waterproof materials, these mobility devices are made to fit easily in any bath or shower stall with a minimum of hassle. You don't have to change anything about your tub or shower and you can even remove your lift and take it with you when you travel. You will find different features offered by different lifts. Some feature swiveling chairs to make entering and exiting your tub all the more convenient.

One example of a bath lift is the Aquatec Fortuna Bath Lift. This lift requires batteries and can be operated with only one hand. You get back support and plenty of room to enjoy a soothing soak in the tub. Also by Aquatec is the Elan Bath Lift. This model features a swivel seat as described above for maximum mobility getting in and out of your tub. In addition to turning you to the desired position it also raises and lowers. Or maybe you'd prefer a bath chair like the Leckey Advanced Bath Chair, which looks like a modified lounge chair and can be easily adjusted to meet your needs.

In addition to a bath chair lift, you might also want non-slip tub mats, safety rails and grab bars. If you do worry about the possibility of a slip and fall in the bathroom a call button on a necklace is a wise idea. That way if you do fall in the bathroom and cannot get up due to injury you can reach the button on your necklace and summon medical help. The Life Alert and Pioneer Emergency companies are just two providers of medical alert jewelry, which is something every senior citizen should have. This is especially important for those who live alone.
