handicapped people and spas
« on: July 19, 2006, 06:06:44 pm »
I have an adult  daughter with Cerebral Palsy and I thought the spa would be good for her.  She is in a wheelchair so would be lifted into the spa.  Does anyone have any experience with this issue?

I am not sure about it being good or bad for her, but for easier access you might want to sink the tub into a deck (if thats possible) or build a ramp to the tub, that way she could just be wheeled up.

*bump*
another good (IMO) post that's managed to slip past before being answered......my thought is that maybe one of the dealers may have connections with people that know about this kind of thing...anyone?

I know we've had a few people post on here who buy it for people with a dissability of some sort.  The last one I remember was someone looking at a Sundance tub that seats just one I think.  I'm not sure if they bought the tub and/or ever reported back.  I'm not sure if it was the same person (w/ an older tub) or a different person, but I vaguely remember someone whose significant other used some sort of lift to get them in the tub and they used it multiple times of day.
