Living Well with Mobility Limitations
Mobility Limitations can be a risk factor for several conditions and lead to increased isolation and loneliness. A carer helps to make your home more accessible.
As we age, showering and bathing can become a challenge but asking for help with such an intimate task can seem embarrassing. Knowing what’s involved can help reduce the stigma.
So, what does assisted showering look like?
Well, it will be different for everyone as it’s tailored to the needs and wants of the person involved. Some people may need significant assistance to wash all parts of their body, while others may only require help to get in and out of the shower.
Generally speaking, assisted showering will consist of some or all of the following steps:
Because showering can be so difficult and even uncomfortable, some may be inclined to reduce how often they get in the tub. It’s generally accepted that for older adults, showering once or twice per week will prevent UTIs and skin infections. A quick sponge bath of the face, armpits, groin and feet can help to keep everything fresh between showers.
The friendly supportive Carers at InPlace Care can help with all your needs to continue a safe, healthy life as you grow older. Please include Showering under the services list when you register the Client on the InPlace Care Platform.
