PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify the lift for a stretcher for bathing to be installed in a bathtub and to reduce the quantity of hot water used compared with a normal bathtub by turning both link arms on a leg part side and a head part side downward linked with the rotation of an operation axis and lowering the stretcher for bathing along a tilting bottom part. SOLUTION: At the time of contracting the rod 33 of an electric cylinder 30, both of the link arms 21 and 22 are turned upward through a connecting axis 29, both operating arms 28 and both operating axes 27 and the stretcher 5 for bathing is horizontally supported on the bathtub 2. At the time of extending a rod 33 after placing and laying a bathing person A on the stretcher in this state and fixing his/her stomach part with a safety belt, both of the arms 21 and 22 are turned downward and the stretcher 5 is lowered by tilting along the tilting bottom part 3. Since the person A is in a bathing posture where only his/her head part is outside of the surface of hot water and the whole body under his/her neck is under the hot water in the bathtub 2 in this state, a caring person can swash or massage his body.
