Why a bath lift?
If stepping into and out off a traditional bath is become difficult or even dangerous then there’re two main options available to you… Firstly you can install a walk in bath which offers a long term solution to your bathing problems, removing the need to step over the side. Alternatively you could purchase a bath lift which will assist in entering and exiting by lowering you gently, and when you have finished bathing, raising up level with the side enabling you to twist your body and lower your legs outside the bath and stand. A bath lift offers a suitable solution to bathing issues if your mobility still allows you to twist and stand easily, if you have greater mobility issues then a walk in bath may be a better solution.
Getting in and out of your bath tub should not be an intimidating experience, especially if you have balance problems and are prone to slipping. Many individuals today have turned to installing bath lifts to prevent accidents and injuries from occurring. These are mechanical devices that can be installed into your tub in order to lower you into it or raise you out of it without the worries of slip and fall accidents happening. They can be battery operated or mains powered. These are especially beneficial to the elderly and those individuals that are experiencing mobility problems.
Features of bath lifts to consider
Whenever you are shopping for a bath lift to install in one of the tubs in your home, you want to remember that comfort and safety are your primary considerations. Some of the more common features of bath lifts that you should look for include:
o a comfortable padded backrest to lean back on
o sturdiness in construction
o battery pacts and electrical cords should be waterproofed
o how the permanent bath lift attaches to the tub
o mobile bath lifts are available for traveling if that is a consideration
o some recline so you can completely stretch out in your tub
Many permanent bath lifts attach to your tub using suction cups whereas the portable types typically fold up into 2 or 3 sections which make them extremely portable. Reclining bath lifts usually operate with a control that sets the reclining angle for you and provide you with the comfort that you need. The non-reclining types limit the person to only being able to sit up in the tub when bathing. Make sure that you consider all of the above before purchasing your bath lift.
