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.

Watch: The Assisted Line in Context

This overview names the transfer tub, the HomeCare tub and the HoistAssist tub as the accessible and assisted options in the line, alongside the barrier-free shower kit with its rubber dam, the dual drain, Chicago-based support and live video consultations.

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 hoist-equipped transfer tub is designed for lift transfers, and the hoist is purchased with it; standard Transfer tubs are for sliding transfers, and no Hoyer skirt is offered.
Do I have to buy the hoist with the HoistAssist tub?
Yes. The hoist is part of the Transfer3060HL system and is ordered together with the tub.
How low and how high does the hoist seat go?
The published range is about 18 7/8 inches to 42 1/2 inches above the floor, with a lifting capacity of about 440 pounds.
Can Ella supply a bath lift for a regular LayDown?
No. A third-party lift sized to the tub would be needed, and the team can share tub dimensions to check fit.
Are finer drawing dimensions available?
Only the overall figures above extract cleanly from the drawing sheets; confirm anything finer with the team before framing.
Is there an owner's manual for the HoistAssist or CareGiver?
Not currently. Open a ticket with your serial number for lift operation, tank controls or electrical details, and the team will work directly with you and your installer.
How much room does the CareGiver need?
About 86 3/4 by 39 3/8 inches for the tub, reservoir and shower area together, plus working room for the caregiver. Confirm the room before ordering.
What does the HoistAssist drain look like?
A 2 inch horizontal PVC drain with a plunger-and-chain stopper, not the cable opener used on other Ella tubs, so mention the model when ordering drain parts.
