Tub Lift Reviews

[HannaBelle]

We are looking for a tub lift for my MIL. Any recommendations or experience with them?

My MIL's tub is wider than a standard tub and she can sit on the side and swing her legs in, but she cannot lower herself into the tub or stand up after bathing. She loves to take baths and we are looking for a feasible option for her to enjoy her tub again. She is about 5 feet tall and probably weighs around 250.

I think she would prefer a reclining seat.

TIA!

I'm going to move this to the disABILITIES Community Board since it is not about WDW.

My DD had this bathlift. It was very nice (expensive, but nice). It worked well, was easy to clean and seemed comfortable. It was not a good choice for her because she has a lot of spasticity and became more and more spastic as it lowered her down into the water. Once it started reclining, her whole body straightened out. By the time her bath was done, she had worked her way down the seat and was barely on the seat part.
It is a very nice seat for someone who does not have those problems though.

Here are some other ones that I found by searching for the words bath lift.

A couple of important things to keep in mind - some lifts won't fit well in some tubs.
