in I Am a Caregiver (General Topics)
Bonjour,
Je suis AMP et je cherche des idées pour une dame atteinte d'Alzheimer qui refuse systématiquement la douche et la toilette. Si vous avez des idées ou des conseils, je suis preneuse. Merci beaucoup

    I used Google to translate

    Here is the English translation:

    "Hello, I am a caregiver (AMP) and I am looking for ideas for a lady with Alzheimer's who systematically refuses to take a shower or wash. If you have any ideas or advice, I would appreciate it. Thank you very much."

    @Myrtille I used an app to translate your question into English in hopes that someone more experienced than I can provide you with tips. Being unwilling to bathe is very common for persons with dementia. Sorry for the challenges you’re experiencing I hope you receive helpful info.

    Hi Myrtille - Welcome. Also using 'google translate'.

    Unfortunately, this is not at all unusual. - Malheureusement, ce n' est pas du tout inhabituel.

    This can be very difficult for them, as the steps involved can be complex for them.

    Cela peut être très difficile pour eux, car les étapes à suivre peuvent s'avérer complexes.

    Try making the room warm, maybe play a favorite low-key music.

    Essayez de chauffer la pièce et peut-être de diffuser une musique douce que vous aimez.

    At the very least, sometimes we have had to use the special bathing wipes that are no-rinse.

    À tout le moins, il nous a parfois fallu utiliser des lingettes de toilette spéciales sans rinçage.

    Sorry to hear you are dealing with this.

    Je suis désolé d'apprendre que vous traversez cette épreuve.
