  • Publication number: 20080022448
    Abstract: A bathing aid device comprises adjustments to accommodate varying user body shapes and sizes and may be used in conjunction with most, if not all, bathtubs. The bathing aid device, when used as described, allows for more complete and safer bathing for those incapable of bathing themselves. The device includes a kneeling platform for being placed beside a bathtub, a column assembly, which extends from the kneeling platform to a position above and preferably slightly forward relative to the bathtub wall, and which holds a preferably pivotal clavicle-region support. The user leans on the clavicle-region support, and, because of its location relative to the bathtub and the user's upper chest, and because of its small dimensions, the support is especially comfortable and effective.
