I was a bath aide at a nursing home from 1988-1992. It was in a Mennonite based community, and we took great care of our stuff. We had one of these that a rep from the company said it looked "showroom"...They remodeled a bathroom and we got to decide what model of tub we wanted in there. We chose the "new" Century tub (tan) with all the bells and whistles that it came with standard. We actually (the three bath aides) all agreed that we liked the simplicity of the old tub and would have done without the dispensers and extra levers and such. I still give a bath ever now and then and do like our new tubs with the lifting side door. BUT the sanitizing system and whirlpool mechanism always seems to need repaired and one tub out of two is almost always out of commission. Back in the day, cleaning and sanitizing these old greens was easy. Can't believe I found a site about Century tubs which I loved back in the day. By the way, I would get residents over their nervousness of being raised in the air for the first time by saying "isn't it Star-Trekky?" and they would laugh. Once in, they loved coming back it was so relaxing.
