Bath Lifts Part 1

In North America the majority of homes have always had bathtubs. Showers are a relatively new comer in homes. However, there are millions of individuals who for some reason or another are simply not able to use their bathtub. These individuals have had a prior stroke, are not able to use their hands or legs, some are confined to a wheel chair, others are frail and many just do not have the strength to get inside the bathtub. One of the most common areas in the home where elderly often fall and injure themselves is the bathroom.

For years, these individuals have had limited options. For some who could afford it, the only way to use the bathtub was to perform costly renovations. These renovations meant spending a large amount of money that is not always available. Moreover, considering today’s economy, the investment is not worth it.

Well, now there are some better options for individuals who want to use their bathtub without spending too much money.

Various types of bath lifts have been designed for use in the home.

The bath lifts are easy to use, do not require a lot of workmanship to install and come in all styles and designs. The majority of bath lifts work in a similar fashion. One sits on the lift, it raises the individual and swings over to the tub.

One does not need to breakdown the home or the bathroom to get these lifts installed. There are no large holes, digging, drilling, or breaking down the toilet.
