Whether we need a shower to clean up in the morning or a quick rinse before bed, the feeling of being clean is a crucial part of keeping us happy and comfortable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, bathing and showering tend to pose unique challenges for people with Alzheimer&rsquo;s disease or dementia. In many cases, they require support from family or personal care workers to ensure they keep up with their hygiene.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Why is bathing challenging for people with dementia?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are three distinct reasons why someone with dementia might be neglecting to bathe or shower over time:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Memory problems:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Since <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alz.org\/alzheimers-dementia\/what-is-dementia\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alzheimer&rsquo;s disease and dementia are degenerative cognitive conditions that affect memory<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the person might simply be forgetting to bathe.

When someone loses the ability to take care of themselves independently, the thought of a family member or professional healthcare worker helping them can be alarming. When faced with the choice of someone bathing them or not bathing at all, the person might choose the latter.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When someone with dementia stops washing, they may need assistance to protect their health and help them feel comfortable. However, helping an older adult bathe can be stressful for both the elderly loved one and the caregiver. Planning is the key to minimizing the discomfort involved and creating a positive experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Preparing the bathroom to bathe someone with dementia<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before starting the bath or shower, make sure everything in the bathroom is safe, ready, and comfortable for the person with dementia:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plan bath time around the times of day they would typically bathe or shower\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure the bathroom floor isn&rsquo;t slippery, and install safety bars and a non-slip bath mat in the bathtub to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/homeandrecreationalsafety\/falls\/adultfalls.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">prevent slip and falls\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cover mirrors if reflections and shiny surfaces upset the person<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prepare a sturdy shower chair the person can sit on, especially if they are unsteady and need the added support<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a hand-held showerhead to make showering easier<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check the water temperature before they get into the tub or shower<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensure the soap, washcloth, towels, and shampoo are all ready before the person comes into the bathroom<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid using bath oil, as it can make the bathtub slippery and lead to urinary tract infections<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure the bathroom is warm and well-lit, and play soft music if it helps the person relax<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be prepared to assist them in and out of the bathtub if necessary, and take care not to strain your back when doing so\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&rsquo;s crucial to have everything ready to go when the person is in the room.

In most cases, it&rsquo;ll be up to you to set the tone. It&rsquo;s as easy as simply acting with kindness and respect, in a way that you would want to be treated if the roles were reversed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means not rushing through the process and keeping the conversation relaxed and light-hearted. You can also gently let the person know what you&rsquo;re going to do next, as in, \u00ab\u00a0Now we&rsquo;re going to wash your back.\u00a0\u00bb If the person becomes upset, you can <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/carehop.ca\/blog\/using-redirection-as-a-calming-communication-technique-for-alzheimers\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">use the redirection technique<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to help them focus on something else while washing them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the person feels self-conscious, you can use a dressing gown or towel to change behind. They can also use them to cover parts of the body you&rsquo;re not currently washing, or you wash them under the towel.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When washing hair, use a no-tears shampoo or cover their eyes with a washcloth when rinsing. You can also opt to wash their hair in the kitchen sink if that&rsquo;s easier for both of you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, people with dementia become upset at the prospect of no longer being able to do simple tasks that were once routine. You can help restore their confidence by encouraging them to participate in the process. Let them pick the soap or body wash you&rsquo;ll be using, and encourage them to wash themselves as much as they can. Jumping in to do it all from the get-go could cause them to stop trying, thereby losing their independence faster. Assess what they&rsquo;re capable of at first and provide help when needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the bath is finished, pat dry with large fluffy towels to prevent rashes.
