Bath Hoists

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.
