Regarding bathing elderly patients. Is there a way to bath them without getting water/soap allover floor? I can't seem to get my Mom in tub because of such high rim around tub and she can't go upstairs to use shower?
They have no rinse soap, it's hypoallergenic you do need to use water with it, but no need to rinse just dry off. They use it in the hospitals you can get it at drug mart and unlike wipes it won't irriate the skin.
Just Google "adult wet wipes" to see all the different types. Hopefully these will work for your Mom.
