The present invention relates to a self-contained unit which employs a manually operable platform/seat attached to a u-channel rail system for the purposes of personal hygiene. The unit mounts to the wall of a shower or bath stall. The system is designed to aid those individuals in need of a secure and stable sitting platform that is vertically adjustable to accommodate the individual user's height. This unit facilitates bathing, showering and other personal hygiene requirements. The unit contains 2 swivel armrests that provide the user stability when moving in and out of the chair and an overhead retractable cage for added security for those individuals requiring additional support. I have found that the advantages of such a devise can reduce bath area accidents caused by slipping and instability and enables those individuals who are physically challenged the freedom to shower independently in a secure environment. There are no known devises of this nature.
