Portable Bath Lift Chair for the Disabled
MedAme introduces an inexpensive, portable, lightweight bath lift for disabled bathers. As always we look for solutions you can afford and the Bellavita Akkulift weighs 20.5 lbs and will lift handicapped patients up to 308 lbs. The Akkulift Bellavita allows seniors to remain home without sacrificing cleanliness and comes with a 2-year warranty. Bathing should not be a luxury for disabled and handicapped seniors. But without the aid of devices like this bath lift chair it truly is. Getting in and out of the bathtub becomes perilous when ambulatory problems arise. The battery-powered Bellavita by Drive Medical Products provides easy side access, comfortable seating, simple operation, and portability for travel. It can be easily taken out of the tub if another family member desires to use the bathtub to take a shower.
Antimicrobacterial covers are easily removed and machine washable on the Akkulift bath chairlift. Their softness adds to the pleasure of the bath. The hand control is lightweight but tactile. The bathtub lift remote is specially designed for the hands and fingers of those that have a hard time grasping things. The control is also waterproof and floats if dropped.
Suction cups on the bath chair lift bottom grab the bathtub while bathing but have an easy release design so that the lift can come out of the tub in seconds. Buy it On eBay or Review Buyer Feedback Here Now

Bathtub Transfer Benches are usually made of heavy duty plastic and metal. They are simply put in your shower/tub area and can be sat on when showering. These benches reduce the chances of falls and make showering easier for the elderly and people with disabilities. They provide stability especially if your legs are weak or your balance is off. These shower bench seats are often a great aid if you have a caregiver that helps you bathe.
There are also safety precautions that you should take when bathing. First of all, never keep anything plugged into an outlet near the bath. Water is a high conductor of electricity. Also, you should put a non-slip mat in your bath or shower. Baths can get very slippery when wet, and when you have to take that high step over the side of the bathtub, you highly increase your chance of having a painful fall. A shower mat can help your feet get a grip in the shower.
Insurance will cover the cost of shower benches depending on what your policy's benefits provide. Many will cover the full cost as it is considered durable medical equipment. Some policies will give you at least partial coverage. If your insurance will not cover a shower bench or perhaps there is no medical necessity for one, they are available for fairly reasonable prices.
