SOLUTION: On the side peripheral section of a table 1 having a built-in hot water storage tank 7, a water-resistant sheet 2 is folded and arranged, and at least at a part of the side peripheral section of the table 1, a water-resistant sheet supporting section 3 which is vertically movable is provided. The upper end side of the water-resistant sheet 2 is supported by the water-resistant sheet supporting section 3, and the water-resistant sheet supporting section 3 is moved upward. Thus, the water-resistant sheet 2 is projected above the table 1 so that a configuration wherein a person requiring care who is mounted on the table 1 may be surrounded by the water-resistant sheet 2, and this bathtub 20 of the water-resistant sheet 2 is formed on the table 1. Hot water from the hot water storage tank 7 is fed into the bathtub 20 by a hot water feeding mechanism 10. After bathing, water is drained by a water draining section 9, and the water-resistant sheet 2 is folded and arranged on the side peripheral section of the table 1 by moving the water-resistant sheet supporting section 3 downward.
