Safer baths and showers
|
| |
 If the person you are caring for is mobile, you may be able to help them have a bath or shower. Here are some tips:
* Make sure the elderly person's bath has strong grab rails to help them get in and out of the bath;
* Make sure the bath or shower has a non-slip mat at the bottom;
* Place a non-skid bathmat (with a rubber base) on the floor in front of the shower or bath;
* Place a shower seat in the shower so the person can sit down if necessary;
* Always check the temperature of the water in the bath or shower before the elderly person gets in;
* If the elderly person prefers to bath or shower on their own, make sure they do not lock the bathroom door. |
