The Gainsborough Alera is a fixed-height assisted bath with a powered transfer seat and integrated leg-lift, designed to support easier seated transfers in care homes and assisted living environments.
Available in 1500 mm and 1700 mm versions, Alera combines a compact footprint with generous internal bathing space and can be specified with options including auto-fill, hydrotherapy, sound and chromotherapy.
The powered transfer seat moves the bather into and out of the bath, helping reduce manual handling during seated transfers.
The leg-lift supports the bather’s legs throughout transfer and removes the need for carers to manually lift them over the side of the bath.
The compact 1500 mm version suits tighter rooms, while the 1700 mm bath provides a longer internal bathing length and generous seating area.
TMV3 controls maintain a pre-set water temperature to support safer bathing and reduce the risk of scalding.
The keyhole-shaped bath is designed to reduce water usage while maintaining a comfortable bathing area for the resident.
A 24V battery backup supports emergency operation during a mains failure, while integrated BioCote antimicrobial technology is included as standard.
Alera is designed around a powered seated transfer with integrated leg support. The final configuration should be confirmed against the resident’s mobility, transfer plan, room layout and access requirements.
The powered seat traverses across the side of the bath to support seated entry and exit with reduced physical intervention from the carer.
The integral leg-lift supports the legs throughout transfer, helping avoid the need to lift the resident’s legs manually over the bath side.
Left- or right-hand configurations and full or hoist-access panels allow the bath layout to be matched more closely to the room and wider transfer plan.
Where two values are shown, figures are listed for the 1500 mm model followed by the 1700 mm model. Final installation requirements should be checked against the current Gainsborough documentation and site conditions.
Able can review the room, existing services, access, resident transfer method and whether the 1500 mm or 1700 mm Alera is the more appropriate configuration.
We can then support delivery, installation, commissioning and handover, with servicing, repairs and breakdown support available after installation.
