Resistance to
bathing is a common problem as Alzheimer’s disease progresses.
However, there are common-sense, highly successful strategies that
can avoid many of the issues and result in a calmer, happier
patient and caregiver.
Written by a
team of professionals who specialize in bathing issues for dementia
patients, Bathing Without a Battle offers strategies that work in
home and institutional settings. The book and video are the result
of research and clinical experience, illustrating ways to avoid
bathing upsets common to people with dementia.
What we like best about this book:
Bathing a
patient who is resistant, agitated or uncooperative poses
dangerous challenges. This book provides proven methods for making
difficult and potentially dangerous bathing experiences more
successful – for both the caregiver and the person being
bathed.
