Even if your loved one usually needs help with bathing, they may sometimes turn on the shower when you’re not nearby. ✅

Check your hot water heater thermostat. Keeping it at 120°F can prevent accidental scalds and give you peace of mind.

💛 Dementia care tip
Bathing or helping with personal care can trigger agitation.

SPEAK calmly
EXPLAIN each step
OFFER small choices
Even letting them pick a towel can reduce stress + prevent reactions that could lead to injury.

#BathSafety
Get your underpants BEFORE the bath. That way you won't slip on the crinkly tissue paper you got for The Baby's gift bag.
