Senior care bathing solutions look different from facility to facility. But you can tell a lot about any bathing program in under ten seconds.
Walk into the bath room. Does it feel cared for or forgotten? Is the equipment in use or is it a storage area? Does it smell clean? Does it look like a place a resident would want to be?
Most administrators know exactly what we mean. The bathing room tells a story — about staffing, about culture, about how much the care team values that part of the resident’s day.
At Apollo, we’ve been walking into those rooms since 1978. Here’s what we’ve learned.
The Real Challenges Don’t Show Up in a Brochure
When we talk to Directors of Nursing and administrators, the conversation rarely starts with equipment specs. It starts with people.
Staff who are stretched thin and need a bath to go smoothly, not sideways. Residents who resist bathing because the experience has never felt safe or comfortable. Equipment that’s aging out but hasn’t been replaced yet. A bath room that was designed for a different era of care.
These aren’t equipment problems. They’re operational and human problems. The right senior care bathing solution helps solve them — but only if it fits how your team actually works.
What “Making a Difference” Actually Looks Like
We hear from care teams that two things change when they move to an Apollo system.
The first is time. The Rapid Fill™ Reservoir fills a tub in 60 to 90 seconds and pre-fills before the resident even enters the room. Staff aren’t standing over a filling tub. They’re with their resident.
The second is the transfer. The Level Glide™ Transfer System is the feature staff mention most. A dedicated transfer chair that integrates directly with the tub. No awkward lift, no risky transition, no two-person scramble. Residents feel it too — a smoother entry changes the whole experience.
When the bath itself goes well, residents ask for more of them. That’s not a small thing in a skilled nursing facility.
A Cleaner Bath Starts Before the Resident Gets In
Apollo’s Remedy™ UV system purifies water during the bath, creating a cleaner bathing environment for every resident.
After the bath, the two-step cleaning process matters just as much. Apollo’s Turbo Clean™ is a pre-disinfectant detergent that removes organic soil first — because a disinfectant applied over residue isn’t doing its full job. Step two is Cid-A-L II, an EPA-registered quaternary disinfectant, applied per label directions.
This follows the CDC-recommended clean-then-disinfect sequence. It’s not complicated. It just has to be done right, every time.
Senior Care Bathing Solutions Built for Your Resident Mix
No two facilities are the same. A skilled nursing facility with high-acuity, less ambulatory residents has different needs than an assisted living community where residents walk in independently.
The Advantage™ Bathing System is built for skilled nursing — 18 configurable models, $14,000 to $26,000, designed for residents who need more support. The ReGen™ Walk-In Spa System fits assisted living — a wide door, heated seat, and a more independent entry for residents who can manage it.
We don’t sell one solution. We ask about your resident mix first.
We’re There When You Need Us
Apollo is a manufacturer, not a distributor. We build in Somerset, Wisconsin and we stand behind what we sell.
On-site service and scheduled PM plans are available in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and surrounding areas. Silver plan covers one visit a year. Gold covers two. Outside that region we work case by case.
Every customer — new or existing, anywhere in the country — gets access to our live virtual training program. Sessions run from our demo room in Somerset via Microsoft Teams. Your care team sees the equipment operating in real time, asks questions, and leaves knowing exactly how to use and clean it properly. We record every session and send the recording to attendees. Everything also lives on the Apollo Bath YouTube channel so the new CNA who starts six months from now can train on her own schedule.
The free Equipment Health Check is available on-site within our service area or guided virtually for facilities outside it. Five minutes, no commitment, written summary of where your equipment stands.
Start With a Conversation
When we visit a facility for the first time, we ask two things: tell us about your resident mix, and tell us what’s on your mind when it comes to hygiene care.
The answers shape everything. Resident mix tells us which system fits. What’s on your mind tells us what problem we’re actually solving.
Not sure which system fits your facility yet? Our bathing system selection guide walks through it by facility type, room layout, and staff workflow.
