Bathing for Seniors
For Seniors, bathing is often one of the more challenging tasks to do alone. As we age, our mobility and balance often decline. These changes paired with slippery surfaces can have an increased risk of a fall which often causes anxiety with our aging loved ones. A Home Instead Care Professional can help ensure safety, while also promoting bathing. Often having someone there who is trained in bathing an older adult provides a level of reassurance they need. This also allows you to spend your time with your loved one rather than needing to focus on helping them bathe. Trust Home Instead to provide Home Care for your loved one.
- 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 had Home Instead coming in daily to help my parents for four months now. They have been wonderful with their care and their communication. Has definitely brought balance back into our lives and comfort in knowing our parents are getting their needs met by a compassionate group.
