Since Steve’s hospitalization in early 2025, he has spent most of his time in bed. This has made it difficult to wash his hair. His caregivers use this tub to make this work. It has a drain hose which makes cleaning up easy. We also used it to help catch hair during his haircut. This is a simple but effective solution to keep Steve looking good.
