Mom Won't Shower: What Do I do?
Hygiene is still very important for older adults. Family caregivers can help make the bathing process easier with these few tips. 1. Bathing everyday is not necessary for most seniors. Allowing for 3 baths a week should be sufficient. Shorter, simpler, and less frequent bathing is the way to go when caring for a resistant elderly loved one. Once you understand why he/she is resisting taking a bath you will be able to find a solution and get past it. If your loved one does not want you helping him/her, try a companion for bathing supervision. A companion will not do the hands on bathing but will empower your loved one to maintain his/her personal hygiene and get on a bathing routine. |
