A patient sanitary care unit comprises a wash basin with opposite handles and a removable emesis basin and soap dish having handles that overlay respective wash basin handles so that all three components can be easily grasped separately or together. The emesis basin is supported by tongues that extend downwardly from its handle through slots in the wash basin handle, and a top flange that overlays a top flange of the wash basin. The soap dish is similarly mounted, but it does not have overlaying flanges and the tongues are provided with fingers that hook under the wash basin handle to provide a cantilever support.
