Abstract: A stand is made so that is can be installed or positioned adjacent to a sink, and has a tilt frame portion attachable to the frame of a wheelchair and operable to tilt or recline the wheelchair relative to a base frame so that a person in the wheelchair can conveniently have a shampoo at a sink basin. The wheelchair is first secured to the tilt frame with clamps. The stand includes an actuator that is operable to positively and safely tilt the tilt frame to recline the wheelchair rearwardly while a person is occupying the chair, so that the person's head will be adjacent and overlying the sink basin.
