Abstract: The catastrophic disability bath includes a bath stall formed by a front wall, a rear wall, first and second side walls and a floor. The first side wall has a wall portion and a door. The wall portion and the door are coplanar. The door has a body, a head that extends cross-wise from a first end of the body and a foot that extends from a second end of the body. The foot provides a connection to facilitate rotating the door vertically upwardly and downwardly between an open and closed position, respectively. An actuating device causes the door to move between these positions. When open, the patient enters by a single lateral transfer from a wheelchair. The stall further includes a toilet, a shower and a lavatory mounted therein.
