Abstract: A portable bathing device comprises a body compartment having four sides and a bottom and having an open top. The body compartment includes a built-in seat, and has an L-shaped door in one side adjacent the seat with the wider port of the door at the top so that when the door is open, the L-shaped opening conforms substantially to the contour of the seat to permit easy, convenient, and safe access to the body compartment for an incapacitated person. The door is removably hinged to the body compartment, and sealing means are provided between the door edges and the body compartment to form a seal when the door is closed tightly in place. A supply water inlet is located in the wall of the body compartment below the seat with this water inlet communicating with flexible hose means attachable to a source of water supply. A shower hose with spray head at the end is connected to the hose means.
