Showering and Bathing Problematic for Seniors

For years, nursing home residents were either showered or bathed in tubs ill-suited for geriatric use. The deficiencies of these two bathing techniques were many. The splashing water of the shower could cause combative behavior in the resident, the clothes of staff members frequently got soaked with contaminated water that splashed off the resident, access to all areas of the body was limited, leading to inadequate cleaning, skin issues and odor, and there were no therapeutic benefits. Bathing systems of the day offered no water movement, with staff needing to manually clean the residents, and they were dangerous to get in and out of.
