Debbie Ward shared this information about a bathtub lift chair. Contact her if you’d like more information: debbieward222@gmail.com: https://shop.app/products/8064636846125/vocic-ax10-multi-functional-bathtub-lift-chair My elementary school friend is living in an independent living place in Bellingham. She bought one of these for herself and several others who live there have rushed to her to borrow it for folks who have fallen. She has used it herself and says it really works. The seat is about 1.5 inches off the floor when it is collapsed down.
