The Arjo Malibu is a fully height-adjustable assisted bath with an integrated transfer chair, designed to simplify seated transfers and support comfortable bathing in care homes, nursing homes and other healthcare environments.
Available in 1600 mm and 1700 mm versions, Malibu can be specified with options such as a removable transfer-chair chassis, integrated disinfection and Air Spa therapy to suit different resident and care requirements.
Malibu incorporates a transfer chair into the bathing system, helping reduce unnecessary transfers within the bathroom and supporting a more streamlined bathing routine.
The bath has a 300 mm lifting stroke, allowing carers to position the tub and resident at a more suitable working height during transfer and bathing.
The current Malibu design uses a deeper tub to increase immersion and support a more comfortable bathing experience for suitable residents.
Auto-fill brings the bath to a pre-set level, while multiple anti-scalding safeguards and temperature display help support controlled bathing routines.
A 24-hour water-flush cycle is standard, with an optional integrated cleaning and disinfection system available to support hygiene procedures between bathing sessions.
Air Spa can be specified with two intensity levels, creating bubbles through nine nozzles to add a gentle massage effect where appropriate for the resident.
Malibu is designed around seated transfers using its integrated chair. The final transfer method should always be confirmed against the resident’s mobility, ability to remain seated, existing equipment and room layout.
The chair rotates in and out of the bath on the integrated lift arm, helping support seated transfer and bathing without introducing a separate bath chair.
An optional removable chassis can connect to the transfer chair, allowing suitable residents to be moved between bedroom and bathroom before docking with the bath.
Malibu is compatible with Arjo transfer aids, giving care teams flexibility when the wider resident-transfer plan includes additional mobility equipment.
Where two values are shown, figures are listed for Malibu 1600 followed by Malibu 1700. Final installation requirements should be checked against the current Arjo documentation and site conditions.
Able can review the room, existing services, access, resident transfer method and whether the 1600 or 1700 Malibu is the more appropriate configuration.
We can then support delivery, installation, commissioning and handover, with servicing, repairs and breakdown support available after installation.

Compare Sovereign from the same transfer-chair bathing family, or consider Parker and Rhapsody where a different transfer or positioning approach may better suit the resident and care environment.
