A support system for a bather's lift for aiding invalids to enter and exit a bathtub is constructed so that the lift assembly may readily be removed and stored away when it is not in use. The system includes a vertical column for supporting the lift. This column has a lower end, which engages a mating projection on a floor plate. The floor plate, in turn, is not bolted to the floor, but includes a pair of downwardly extending lugs which fit into corresponding recesses in the floor. At the upper end, the vertical column has an extension, which passes through a mating hole in a support bar extending parallel to the bathtub and attached to the end walls at each end of the bathtub. This support bar may be used as a shower curtain rod; but when the extension on the end of the vertical column for stabilizing and supporting the seat support passes into it, the entire assembly is rigidly held in place for use of the seat. A releasable fastener is used to secure the extension at the upper end of the vertical column into the hole in the support bar, when the seat is in use.
