Luckily, there are several products available that can make any walkin baths accessible without requiring a contractor to add expensive permanent adaptations. The most important of these, especially for seniors and those with limited lower mobility, is the bath lift.
A bath lift can safely lift and lower a person into a bath tub and allows the user to maneuver with out the help of a care giver. This not only makes bathing safer, but increases the user’s level of independence.
Walkin baths are home medical devices that can be used to raise and lower an individual into the bathtub. They typically can be installed into the bathtub with no modification to the tub.
Many use powerful suction cups to secure to the floor of the tub. Since there is no complicated installation they can be moved fairly easily, which makes it possible to take them with you when visiting family or traveling.
Disabled baths are simple to operate and the controls on most modern models are usually quite intuitive. The lifting and lowering is accomplished through the use of a low voltage DC motor powered by rechargeable batteries. When shopping for bath lifts, there are a few important questions you should always ask.
* Quality Materials
o The structural components should be made with water resistant materials and will need to be strong enough to support the user's weight. Pay close attention to the weight capacity that is specified by the manufacturer.
* Battery Life
o Most home disabled baths use low voltage DC motors powered by rechargeable batteries. Most lifts are capable of at least 8 lifts per charge. Make sure that you will be able to obtain additional batteries from the manufacturer at a reasonable cost. Under normal operating conditions you can expect the batteries to last approximately 2-3 years.
Back in the day, baths were not designed for comfort, but instead were just there to get the job of washing done. No one really luxuriated in a bath. They got in the walkin baths, washed up and got out - similar to our showering habits of today.

People also did not bathe every day and in some countries there were laws that dictated when we could bathe. A lot has changed since then, and with the introduction of the shower head to the walkin baths, people are able to wash every day. But we still love the relaxation that a bath offers.
Nowadays, everything from Jacuzzi style tubs to small corner bathtubs offer great variety in our choices for a tub. A bath is now a treat to pamper ourselves when we have some time for ourselves.

Tall Portable Shower for Wheelchairs
For use by either able-bodied individuals or individuals with disabilities who can stand while bathing. Meets the needs of Emergency Services or HAZMAT and is wheelchair accessible. The FAWSsit™ T4000 Tall shower is also an ideal alternative for use in homes that need a full shower stall, but do not have room for a permanent or even semi-permanent structure.
The T4000 Tall shower, like all FAWSsit™ models, is shipped COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED, but folds flat to less than 8 inches in depth when showering is completed. This is a great alternative for cabins, basements, garages, or other locations where a shower is desired, but space is a concern.
The T4000 shower is also fully accessible, so it can be used by both the able-bodied and disabled in a family.
For emergency services and hazardous materials decontamination, time is of the essence for getting a shower facility functional. This unit can be mounted, fully assembled, on the side of a fire truck, or stored in an emergency closet for immediate use when needed. Exposure to hazardous materials especially calls for IMMEDIATE decontamination and for containment of the waste water.
ONLY FAWSsit™ portable showers enable this immediate use capability and waste water disposal system for easy bladder containment.
