Frequently asked questions
How much does nursing home bathing equipment cost?
Pricing is quote-based because models, entry configuration, colors and options all change the price. Send your details and we will put together a quote for your facility.
Will a bathing spa fit our existing bathing room?
Often yes. Models come with left, right or end-opening entry, and short versions are available. A sales rep can evaluate your space and recommend the right model.
Do you serve facilities outside Nebraska?
Yes. We sell across the United States and Canada. Vancare patient lifts are limited to SD, IA, KS, MO, NE, ND and MN.
What about bariatric residents?
We build bariatric bathing spas and a 600 lb capacity transfer chair designed to fit the wide spa. Standard transfer chairs are rated at 400 lbs.

Healthcare bathing systems include a 1-year parts warranty. You also get 24/7 live phone support, and parts ordered before 2PM CST ship next-day air.
