Description
This UK designed and manufactured bath will enhance any bathroom environment, allowing the bather the dignity of taking a bath in their own home. Also ensuring carers work and care at a safe and comfortable working height, helping to reduce the risk of back strain. This beautifully designed bath can also be used by the whole family.
The Astor Rio height adjustable assisted bath combined with a patented Astor Neatfold stretcher gives a compact 3-in-1 bathing, changing and showering solution ideal for use in a smaller bathroom. As the changing stretcher is neatly folded away on the top of the bath for bathing, the capacity of the bath is not compromised and the bather can enjoy a relaxing bath whilst being fully immersed in the water without any restriction of a changing surface in the bath with them.
When the bather is ready to be dried and changed, they can be simply hoisted vertically, the stretcher can be slid into place underneath them and they can be lowered straight onto the comfortable hammocking dry surface.
