Hi Bobbie, I have a Guldmann Pontus 10'x10' freestanding lift. There's enough room for my twin bed, wheelchair and my Jacuzzi tub (30"x72" with 9 adjustable jets... ($1,000 of the best dollars I ever invested and was well worth saving up for) .....add some bubbles and scents to the 106 degree temps and aahhhh!! The jets on my feet neck and shoulders and hot water feel great every morning. The state funded all but the tub.
 
I lift out of my chair and swing either into bed, my showerchair or my hot tub or visa-versa. The sling is taken off after im done transferring. I swear, this lift being so versatile and being able to set me in and out of the jetted tub every morning has helped me sooo much. No more lifting, scooting ect.
 
 I have had my lift for 4 years with zero troubles. I can even take the lift apart easily and move it to any room that's 10'x10'. I then run a hose from the shower head (with a quick disconnect) to fill the tub, then bilge it back into the shower drain when I get done with the jetted hot tub experience. Great if you move to a home without an accessible bathroom. You just need enough hose to reach the shower.
 
These guys also have hoyer type lifts as well.
 
Hope the link helps, Good luck....
Bob
