BathroomHigher cost
Safety level: Fall-safety / weight-bearing equipment. Check fit and installation; consider an OT or physio assessment.
Warning: Bath lift warning: check the base fits flat inside your tub and that the tub floor is smooth enough for the suction cups (textured anti-slip floors may not hold). Check the weight limit, charge the hand control after each bath, and test the water temperature before lowering yourself in. An OT can check whether a bath lift suits you.
