Abstract
A lift is provided for placement over a conventional toilet. The lift includes a raising and lower mechanism which assists users in sitting and standing, a washing mechanism which is used to wash the lower extremities after toilet use, and a drying mechanism which is used to dry the lower extremities after use of the washing mechanism. The lift can be placed inside a housing which is useful for concealing the lift. Advantageously, the washing mechanism is adapted to be stored in a position which is unlikely to be soiled by waste entering the toilet basin and shiftable to a position wherein the lower body parts of a toilet user can be washed. Additionally, the shiftability of the washing mechanism provides a more thorough wash due to its ability to direct a water stream in any direction.
