Signs that your loved one might need elderly bathing assistance can include:

• They have difficulty getting in and out of the bathtub, using the toilet, or other previously simple activities.

• They are becoming forgetful and daily hygiene seems to be more of a struggle to remember.

• You are noticing a disheveled appearance, wearing the same clothes every day, hair is not brushed, face is unshaven.

• There are no personal board and care products in the home, or you can tell they is not being used.

• The topic of bathing or showering elicits anger or discomfort, and the senior avoids the issue.

If you suspect your loved one is having trouble bathing, not bathing properly, or neglecting bathing and showering altogether and need some extra help convincing a senior to bathe, the professional senior caregiving staff can make the process of bathing, dressing and undressing, and self-care or personal grooming a much more pleasant, easier experience for everyone. We acknowledge the unique challenges our seniors face when it comes to bathing and dressing themselves, but we also understand how tough it can be to ask for help with these sensitive areas. We will become your greatest ally and advocate in this transition. Let us ensure your elderly loved ones are able to bathe and use proper hygiene safely, effectively, and comfortably in their own home environments.
