What you think...
My husband has cerebral palsy and arthritis. One day he found that he could no longer get out of the bath easily. We needed help quickly so, having heard of DLF, I called them and within a day or two received comprehensive details of suppliers of bath aids. We contacted one and bought a bath seat - problem solved!
