Bathing for Seniors

Bathing for Seniors

One of the more difficult things for seniors to complete on their own bathing. Our mobility, strength and balance deteriorate as we age. These changes, when combined with slippery surfaces, raise the chance of falling, which frequently makes our elderly loved ones anxious and increase the opportunity for falls.

A Home Instead Care Professional can support bathing while also assisting in ensuring safety by preventing falls. It gives them the amount of comfort they need to know that there is someone nearby who has been trained to bathe an older adult. Additionally, you may now focus on spending quality time with your loved one rather than providing your loved one with bathing. For your loved one's home care, put your trust in Home Instead. We help with:

• Assistance getting undressed and dressed
• Support getting in and out of the bath or shower
• Assistance while in the Bath or shower to ensure they are safe and having their personal care needs attended to.

This can take as long as your loved one needs or wants. At Home Instead we believe in spending quality time with your loved one and focusing on the relationship instead of just the task. That’s why we often will create a “spa” like experience on bath days for your loved one. We have helped thousands of seniors ensure their personal care needs are taken care of.
