The best time for an elderly person to bathe is after breakfast, between 9:00 am and 11:00 am
This schedule allows:
That the body has already warmed up
May the stomach have food and energy
That the medications have taken effect (if you take them in the morning)
Reduce the risk of falls and dizziness
In addition, it is always recommended:
Use non-slip mats
Have a bath bench or chair
Not closing the bathroom door completely
Have someone nearby if there is a history of fainting
❤️ Taking care of the bathroom is taking care of life
After age 70, bathing becomes a risk zone if precautions are not taken. Avoiding bathing too early and choosing a safer time can make the difference between a normal day and a medical emergency .
Remember: prevention is always the best medicine.
