If she does not sit without support, it may be hard to get her in and out of the tub and keep her stable and safe while you wash her. There are a number of waterproof bath chairs available, ranging from mesh sling-back styles to rigid plastic benches and chairs. A hand-held shower hose can be very useful in the tub, especially for hair washing. Waterproof wheelchairs are available for use in roll-in showers.
A mesh table that hooks into the back of a roll-in shower provides a safe way to bathe without undue bending by the caregiver. |
