The best way to get an Alzheimer's person to bathe is to start with short sessions in warm water. Generally speaking, Alzheimer’s persons do best when they feel they are in control. So instead of demanding they take a shower or bath, try to involve them in the process. Ask them to help you fill the tub or put soap in the shower. Talk in a calm and reassuring voice, stay positive, and offer plenty of praise and encouragement. Make the bathing experience as pleasant as possible. Provide a warm, soothing environment with soft lighting and a comfortable temperature. Allow them to bathe at their own pace, and provide assistance only if absolutely necessary.
