Assisting with Bathing in Dementia Care

Turn a vulnerable moment into one of trust and comfort.

Bathing is one of the most sensitive and challenging aspects of dementia care. Fear, embarrassment, or discomfort can quickly escalate into resistance, making the experience stressful for both the individual and the care partner. This course equips caregivers with strategies to reduce distress, foster collaboration, and preserve dignity—transforming a daily task into a moment of connection and reassurance.

Series Focus

• Skills to recognize and respond to signs of distress with empathy

• Techniques to prepare spaces that promote comfort, privacy, and safety
