How Do You Use a Bath Lift?
Enjoying a relaxing bath is highly therapeutic and one of life’s little luxuries. If you find it difficult to get in and out of the bath, a bath chair lift system offers a safe, simple and affordable solution. At the touch of a button, a bath tub lift lowers you safely to the bottom of the bath for you to enjoy a safe, simple bath once more.
The process of using a bath chair lift is extremely simple. Note: a tub grab bar is not absolutely necessary but is a great tool to help make the process even safer for you.
Getting Into the Bath Using a Bath Chair Lift:
using the handset, raise the bath lift level with the top of the tub
stand with the back of your legs touching the edge of the tub
using the tub grab bar for support, sit on the bath lift with your feet flat on the floor
slide backwards slightly onto the bath tub lift
swivel around to face the front of the tub as you lift your legs, one at a time, into the tub
shuffle over to the middle of the bath tub lift
use the handset to lower yourself into the tub and enjoy your bath
Getting Out of the Bath Using a Bath Chair Lift:
use the handset to lift the seat up level with the top of the tub
