Sometimes, it isn’t the bath they’re afraid of, it’s how unfamiliar and overwhelming the moment can feel.
For a person living with Alzheimer’s, bathing may bring feelings of fear, confusion, vulnerability, or uncertainty. Instead of seeing resistance as stubbornness, we can pause, listen, and try to understand what they may be feeling.
A familiar routine, gentle reassurance, soothing music, simple activities, and lots of patience can help them feel safe and cared for.
Meet them with compassion, not pressure. Sometimes, a little understanding can make a big difference.
