A bathtub which has specific advantages for certain physically handicapped or infirm persons. The bathtub includes a circular well which is recessed below the floor level. A crescent-shaped bench is included which supports the user in a comfortable sitting position and provides a step, also below the floor level, to accommodate the ingress and egress of the user. A pair of remotely disposed showerheads are included which may selectively be turned on or off in unison and/or individually. A hand railing having a gate portion is disposed a distance above the floor and extends circumferentially around the well to provide a safety barrier and to assist the user into and out of the bathtub.
