Bathing Assistance Training for Caregivers
Bathing assistance is one of the most essential caregiving skills — crucial for maintaining hygiene, preventing infections, and supporting the dignity and independence of elderly or disabled clients. For many seniors, help with bathing or showering can be physically and emotionally challenging. That’s why properly trained caregivers make all the difference.
The Bathing Assistance Basics Training Course is designed to teach caregivers how to safely provide bathing services to the elderly, whether in care homes, assisted living facilities, or home care settings. Learners gain hands-on experience in shower assistance for seniors, home bathing assistance, and techniques for clients with Alzheimer’s or dementia.
