Bath Lifts A Brief Description

There are many places that can be hard to get to if you have decreased mobility from muscular diseases, arthritis, or old age. Places like the attic, crawlspace, and roof can all be very hard to get to but they can also for the most part be easily avoided. One place that can be hard to get to is the bath tub. The bath tub is a place that really should not be avoided as it is one of the best ways to maintain proper personal hygiene. It can be incredibly hard for many who are mobility challenged to bend down low enough to get into the tub, then once down getting back up can be near impossible to do on your own.

A bath lift can in many ways help to restore freedom and independence. A bath lift is essentially a chair that lowers into the bath tub and then rises to become flush with the top of the bath tub. This makes taking a bath very simple and often removes the need of having a loved one or a paid nurse help you take a bath. A bath lift can also be a tremendous asset if you are a primary care giver who has struggled with getting your ward out of the bath tub.

There are several popular types of bath lifts on the market. Perhaps one of the most well known and arguably best made models is the AmeriGlide Bath Lift, available from http://www.a1-medical-supplies.net. It features a lightweight and easy to use floating remote control and supports up to 375 pounds. Since AmeriGlide, a quality producer of home medical equipment always has safety on the mind, and the rechargeable battery powered AmeriGlide Bath Lift is no exception. It will not lower if it does not have enough power to rise again and was designed to meet the needs of occupational therapists and health care professionals.
