ABSTRACT:
Bathing apparatus for the infirm or disabled is a portable chair supported on adjustable legs. A depressed intermediate basin portion holds water and can receive the buttocks of a bather. It is provided with a drain at its lowermost portion. One end of the basin portion is connected to an upstanding backrest/headrest. A second end of the basin portion is connected to an elevated horizontal platform which serves as a thigh rest when the buttocks are in the basin in a first mode of operation. In a second mode of operation, the platform serves as a seat so that the user can slide into or out of the basin for less strenuous entry and exit when alone or assisted. A continuous smooth, water resistant surface covers platform, basin and backrest/headrest portions for comfort and ease of maintenance.
