I'm conservator and my sister is bedridden but can sit in a wheel chair. Aides use a Hoyer lift. The Care home (6 patients and 2 Aides). don’t bathe patients weekly like I want. They use wipes. Has anyone hired someone to come in for hair shampoos or showers? I’d like to bathe sis but there’s liability issues. Only staff can bathe. I hired a physical therapist for massages and I’d like to hire a nurse to come in weekly for bathing. Any ideas?
And I too used the extra large body wipes for the in between bed baths, along with the waterless shampoo and conditioner caps to wash his hair.
I would imagine that you learning how to give a bed bath would be much easier than trying to get your sister in the shower at this point. Just a thought.
And I can't imagine that there would be any "liability" issues if you keep your sister in her bed to bathe her.
Also, the staff should be doing a full bed bath part of the time, meaning with water and no rinse soap, inc washing hair. Wipes have their place but they do not a full bed bath make.
