Bathing Aids

Older adults and people with disabilities who need assistance with bathing often find the activity to be both physically and emotionally demanding, as do their caregivers. Older adults may resist assisted bathing because it's physically painful, it's embarrassing, or it represents a loss of autonomy. Bath and shower aids can help people to remain independent in the bathroom. If washing is becoming difficult, you might find it helpful to introduce some of the bathing aids available.
