Many care home residents struggle with getting in and out of their bath as a result of a disability or illness. A bath hoist or bath lift is essentially a seat that can be placed at the back or side of a bath and raised up to be level with the top of the bath. The person can then sit on the bath lift to be lowered into the water. Once they have finished, the bath hoist can then be raised to the top level of the water and they can exit the bath. Baths are often favourable over showers because a bath can help with the relaxation of the muscles and mind of the person.
The safe lifting of a less mobile patient is a major responsibility in a care home and bath hoists are among the most crucial pieces of equipment. We understand that quality and reliability must be of the highest standard and Care Shop ensures that every product sold meets European standards as well as the demands set by the Department of Health. Our range of Oxford Mermaid Bath Hoists are trusted in care homes throughout Europe. We sell both electric Oxford Mermaid hoists and manual Oxford Mermaid hoists for ease of use in your care home. If you have any questions about our bath hoist products, or anything else in our range of moving and handling equipment, please give us a call and one of our expert advisors will be able to help you. You can also find guidance on how to use lifts and slings over on our blog.
