All of the options will swing out of the way so a non-impaired person can comfortably use the unit. For residents in specialized areas like Alzheimer's or dementia units, bath time can be frightening. Apollo Corporation offers several models that do not require use of a lift to transfer the resident into the bath. Instead, the units use a chair that glides into the bath without raising or lowering. For more able residents, Apollo has a model that fits standard five-foot openings and has a sliding door and molded seat.
Controls are easy to operate even for arthritic hands.
According to Marv Smith, vice president of sales for Apollo, a consumer oriented designer was retained to create a residential look for the unit. Unique to Apollo is a special system available on some of its units called the Remedy. The Remedy uses ultra-violet light to disinfect bath water to reduce the risk of infection spreading from one bather to another. The water circulates through hidden panels where it is treated with ultra-violet light and then returned to the main bath unit. Aquarius offers a wide array of options for both independent and assisted living settings.
