Bathing Blocks: When an Elder Refuses to Bathe

4 months ago

My Grandmother has Alzheimer's and has gotten to the stage of needing help bathing. Luckily, my mother has a nice big shower, which makes it helpful. But, it is still a process, it takes a long time and is difficult. One thing we like to do for Grandma a few times a week is wash her hair. Even if we don't have time for a shower, having clean hair makes her feel better about herself. We have found a great product on an <a href="http://www.enablemart.com/">assistive technology website</a>. It is called the <a href="http://www.enablemart.com/Catalog/Bathing-Aids/">Comfort Hair Wash Basin</a>, and it works beautifully when doing my Grandmother's hair. On thing to remember, especially for a woman. Having your hair look good, will make you feel better all day long. I hope this helps a few families.
