“Caregiving 101” Tips on KENS TV–5, San Antonio, Texas
Hosts: Starr Calo–oy
Topic: Bathing
Broadcast Date: February 22, 2009
It is important to keep your loved one clean at all times. Don’t be embarrassed and don’t rush baths and other grooming. Be sure they are comfortable and safe – do not leave them alone. Cover them with a towel to protect their dignity. Cover mirrors so they don’t get scared by the person in the mirror. Be sensitive to their needs, you may not be able to shower them, you may need to bathe them in bed or in the bath room. Distract them by talking to them while you clean them.
