Bathtub options for assisted living facilities have
been limited. Traditional household bathtubs
present accessibility problems and are unsafe.
Institutional lift tubs are expensive to own
and to operate.

The home care dilemma is
complicated by:

• The reality that a large percentage of
  clients in assisted living facilities do not
  need lift tubs but can not access a regular tub.
  
  
• The risk to clients of various forms of
  bacterial infection related to the use
  of piped whirlpool systems.
  
  
• The varied ambulatory abilities of
  clients and the need to promote
  independence and preserve dignity.
  
  
• The trends in assisted care which are encouraging more home-like,
  friendlier environments.
  
  

  The Supreme bathtub series was designed to address the gap between regular household bathtubs and traditional lift bathtubs used commonly in care facilities. Safety Bath Inc. is aware of the risk of infectious bacteria where bathtubs are used by multiple clients in institutions and care homes. To address this issue, we have developed the San Air Whirlpool System, a specially designed air system which: Prohibits fluids from entering and contaminating the whirlpool system and eliminates the risks of hazardous biofilm. Costs less than an traditional lift bathtub and is more economical to operate. Fosters client independence. Reduces caregiver injuries related to bathing. Can be used wherever group facilities make it necessary for many individuals to use the same bathtub.....assisted living facilities, personal care homes, continuing care facilities, adult day care programs, congregate housing, board and care homes and as comfortable alternatives in nursing homes.
