Showering Tips for Dementia Caregivers to Help Stop the Battle!
Description
If you're caring for a loved one with dementia, you've probably run across some resistance to bathing or showering. There are many reasons for this including a desire to maintain privacy, lack of trust, fear of falling, problems with depth perception, feeling cold, and more.
Deb Hallisey, a certified dementia practitioner, provides some helpful tips to make showering easier, and even more fun, for both caregiver and the person living with dementia. They include using towels or a robe to provide more privacy, cuing, and involving your loved one in the process.
Hallisey also assists family caregivers through Advocate for Mom and Dad. https://advocateformomanddad.com/
