After discharging the hot water, the assistant removes the bathtub from the stretcher 1, wipes the care recipient and the stretcher 1, and moves the care recipient to the bedroom while sitting on the stretcher 1.

  In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 6, by attaching the detachment bar 7 to the front of the front wall 82 a of the bathtub 8, it is possible to prevent the bathtub 8 from inadvertently moving forward.

  Since the present invention can be used as a bathing aid as described above, a care recipient can move and bathe from the bedroom to the bathroom while riding on a stretcher. Bathing assistance can be performed without transfer. Furthermore, since bathing assistance can be performed easily, the burden on the assistant is reduced in hospitals and care facilities, and bathing assistance can be performed efficiently. In addition, since no mechanical devices such as pumps are required, the initial investment and maintenance costs during installation can be greatly reduced, and it can be applied to various caregivers such as persons with disabilities regardless of the level of care required. In addition to hospitals and nursing homes, it can also be used at home.

  FIG. 7 shows another embodiment of the assistance stretcher. In this embodiment, a detachable table 11 is attached in front of the side frame members 43a and 43b. As a result, the care recipient can sit on the stretcher and receive meal assistance. In addition to meals, care recipients can read and write and perform simple tasks while sitting on a stretcher. Furthermore, by attaching a detachable wash basin, it is possible to perform a wash such as brushing teeth.
