Abstract

The present invention is an apparatus for facilitating performing bathing by an individual. Throughout various embodiments, said apparatus comprises a shower stall and a chair assembly. The present invention may transport a bather while seated into its bath border, support them, then exit (by the use of a remote) back to the edge of a tub, accomplishing not stepping, merely approaching the bathtub sit-down swivels to forward position.
