Bathing is one of the most basic human needs in life.
But when you get old and lose the most basic mobility, unable to get up and walk, and can only stay in bed to support your life, you will find that taking a pleasant bath has become so difficult and extravagant. According to statistics, there are 280 million people over the age of 60 in China, of which about 44 million are disabled or semi-disabled. The data shows that among the six activities of dressing, eating, getting in and out of bed, and taking a bath, bathing is the one that bothers the disabled elderly the most.
It’s hard for elderly and disable to take a shower
How difficult is it for the family members to bathe the disabled elderly?
1. Physically demanding
With the aggravation of aging, it’s a common for young people to take care of their elderly parents. It is very hard for people in their 60s and 70s to take care of their parents in their 80s and 90s. The disabled elderly have limited mobility, and bathing the elderly is a matter of high physical demands.
2. Privacy
Bathing is a matter that requires high privacy. Many elderly people are ashamed to express it, find it difficult to accept help from others, and even feel ashamed to expose their bodies in front of their children, wanting to maintain a sense of authority.
3. Risky
Many elderly people have diseases such as high blood pressure and heart disease. When the temperature changes, their blood pressure will also change. Especially when shampooing, it is easy to cause the blood in the head and the whole body to expand suddenly, which in turn leads to acute ischemia of the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular, which is prone to accidents.
The demand will not disappear even if it is difficult. Bathing can thoroughly clean the body of the elderly, making them feel comfortable and dignified. The shower of hot water can also improve the blood circulation of the elderly and play a role in boosting the recovery process of the disease. This is irreplaceable for daily ordinary wiping.
In this context, the bath industry came into being. Home-assisted bathing can help the elderly clean their bodies, meet their needs for bathing, and make their lives more quality and dignified in their later years.
