Abstract
Apparatus for aiding in the showering of bathing of bed patients, which apparatus includes disposable non-porous sheets adapted to be fitted within a basin for collecting shower and bath water after use. The basin is removable from the bathing apparatus frame structure so that it may easily be maneuvered under a bed patient, and then used similar to a stretcher to transport the bed patient from the hospital bed to the apparatus support structure. Water collected during the bathing procedure is directed into a holding tank which includes a water pump and drain hose for draining such shower or bath water into an appropriate lavatory drain.
