Dementia Bathing Struggles: Transforming Resistance into Cooperation

Dementia Bathing Struggles: Transforming Resistance into Cooperation

In this essential episode of The Disappearing Mind, Dawn Platt tackles one of dementia caregiving's most challenging yet rarely discussed realities: bathing resistance. With compassion and practical wisdom, Dawn reveals why people with dementia often resist bathing and shares seven proven techniques to transform these difficult moments. Through real caregiver questions about handling aggression, denial, and water phobias, listeners will discover gentle approaches that preserve dignity while maintaining hygiene—turning daily "bathing battles" into opportunities for connection and reminding caregivers they're not alone in this intimate aspect of the dementia journey.
