Train Caregivers to Win Against Bathing Battles
Bathing can be one of the toughest caregiving tasks, especially when clients resist due to fear, discomfort, dementia, or physical challenges. Without proper techniques, caregivers may struggle to keep clients clean and safe—leading to hygiene issues, skin problems, and increased risk of infection.
The Bathing Battle Techniques Training Course gives caregivers practical strategies to overcome bathing resistance with confidence and compassion. Learners explore multiple alternative bathing methods—such as towel baths, recliner baths, toilet baths, singing baths, and the 7-day bath—to ensure clients remain clean, comfortable, and dignified even when traditional bathing is difficult.
By the end of this course, caregivers will know how to navigate bathing conflicts calmly, adapt techniques to client needs, and deliver safe, respectful hygiene care. This leads to better client outcomes, reduced caregiver stress, and a consistently higher standard of care.
