HoistAssist and CareGiver Assisted-Bathing Systems: What Is Published

Updated September 2026

Beyond the HomeCare tub, Ella's Bubbles lists two assisted-bathing systems: the HoistAssist (Transfer3060HL), a battery-powered hoist paired with a 60 inch tub for bathers who must be lifted in and out, and the CareGiver or Care Assist XL (model LD6632), a lay-down tub with a heated side reservoir of about 105 gallons for caregiver-run bathing. Only spec sheets and drawings are published for these products, so this article summarizes exactly what they say, in inches and pounds, and points out where you will need to ask the team.

Ella HoistAssist walk-in tub with patient hoist lift, transfer seat and fast-fill water tank
The HoistAssist pairs a battery hoist with a 60 inch tub; a fast-fill tank is shown alongside in this product image.

HoistAssist Transfer3060HL

  • Hoist: about 48 7/8 by 47 by 27 3/8 inches (the sheet prints metric figures; these are conversions), stainless frame, safety harness, anti-roll bars, long-life battery with charge indicator.
  • Lifting capacity about 440 pounds; the seat travels from about 18 7/8 inches to 42 1/2 inches above the floor.
  • Tub (shell LOLA3060): 60 x 29 1/2 x 39 1/4 in; 233 lb; 70 to 76 gallons operating capacity; white acrylic over fiberglass, non-skid floor, one grab bar, stainless frame, front deck for faucets.
  • Aluminum door and frame, 39 1/4 in opening width, 12 1/4 in clearance height.
  • Drain: 2 in horizontal PVC with a plunger-and-chain stopper rather than a cable opener.
  • Options listed: valve, dual air and microbubble jetting, microbubble only, air only; end panels as accessories.
  • Certifications: cETL Intertek, cUPC/USPC IAPMO, ANSI Z124.1.2, ASME A112.19.7, ASME A112.19.15, CSA B45.5. The safety certifications article explains what those marks mean.

CareGiver LD6632 with the Side Water Tank

  • A lay-down tub with an integrated side reservoir and shower area, entered through a door; the tank holds about 105 gallons.
  • Footprint from the drawings: about 86 3/4 inches long by 39 3/8 inches wide, made up of a 20 inch shower area, a 67 inch tub and reservoir section, and a 20 inch side tank. Confirm the room first; this is far larger than a 60 inch walk-in tub.
  • Plumbing: the tank and jets drain into the bathtub drain, so one house connection serves everything; the faucet is fed by dual 3/4 in hoses; a water heater mounts at the end of the tub.

How They Compare with the HomeCare and Transfer Tubs

The HomeCare 32x60 is the assisted-bathing tub with a fully documented pre-filled 80 gallon tank and a 90 second fill for a seated bather who can be transferred by a caregiver. The HoistAssist adds a powered lift for a bather who cannot stand or slide across. The CareGiver is the lay-down, hospital-style option with the largest reservoir and footprint. A standard Transfer tub with its L-shape door is enough when the bather can slide from a wheelchair onto the seat. The assisted bathing options compared article puts all four side by side.

Manuals and Coverage Gaps

Neither product currently has an installation or operations manual, brochure, or dedicated warranty document online. The HoistAssist has a spec sheet only and the CareGiver has drawing sheets only. The general walk-in tub cleaning instructions apply to the acrylic, and the leveling guide applies to the tub frame. For lift operation, tank controls, or electrical details, open a ticket with your serial number and the team will work with you and your installer.

Common Questions

Which tubs work with a Hoyer lift?
Only the HoistAssist Transfer3060HL, which is a hoist-equipped transfer tub, is designed for lift transfers. The battery-powered hoist is purchased with this system. Standard Transfer tubs are designed for sliding transfers from a wheelchair, and Ella's Bubbles does not offer a Hoyer skirt for them.
Do I have to buy the hoist with the HoistAssist tub?
Yes, you must buy the hoist with the HoistAssist tub. The battery-powered hoist is an integral part of the HoistAssist Transfer3060HL system and is ordered together with the 60-inch tub. This system is designed for bathers who must be lifted in and out.
How low and how high does the hoist seat go?
The HoistAssist Transfer3060HL hoist seat travels from about 18 7/8 inches to 42 1/2 inches above the floor. This battery-powered hoist has a lifting capacity of about 440 pounds. The hoist features a stainless frame, safety harness, anti-roll bars, and a long-life battery with a charge indicator.
Can Ella supply a bath lift for a regular LayDown?
No, Ella's Bubbles does not supply a bath lift for a regular LayDown tub. If you need a bath lift for a LayDown tub, a third-party lift sized to the tub would be required. The Ella's Bubbles team can share the tub dimensions to help you check for proper fit with a third-party lift.
Are finer drawing dimensions available?
Only the overall figures for the HoistAssist and CareGiver systems can be cleanly extracted from the drawing sheets. If you require finer drawing dimensions for these products, you should confirm them with the Ella's Bubbles team before proceeding with any framing or installation work. This ensures accuracy for your project.
Is there an owner's manual for the HoistAssist or CareGiver?
No, there is not currently an owner's manual, installation manual, brochure, or dedicated warranty document available online for the HoistAssist or CareGiver systems. For specific details regarding lift operation, tank controls, or electrical information, please open a ticket with your serial number. The Ella's Bubbles team will then work directly with you and your installer.
How much room does the CareGiver need?
The CareGiver LD6632 system, which includes the lay-down tub, integrated side reservoir, and shower area, requires a footprint of about 86 3/4 inches long by 39 3/8 inches wide. This measurement includes a 20-inch shower area, a 67-inch tub and reservoir section, and a 20-inch side tank. You should confirm the available room in your space before ordering, as this system is significantly larger than a standard 60-inch walk-in tub.
What does the HoistAssist drain look like?
The HoistAssist Transfer3060HL tub uses a 2-inch horizontal PVC drain with a plunger-and-chain stopper. This is different from the cable opener drain used on other Ella's Bubbles tubs. When ordering replacement drain parts for your HoistAssist tub, please mention the specific model to ensure you receive the correct components.
