Bathing Without a Battle: Home

The Bathing Without a Battle: Creating a Better Bathing Experience for Persons with Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders CD and video package teaches person-centered methods for making the bathing experience more enjoyable for both caregivers and the people they are bathing. The package includes an interactive educational CD plus an instructional lecture-demonstration, available in VHS or DVD format. Research has shown that the methods and principles displayed on the CD and video will make a positive difference in bathing for both people with dementia and their caregivers.

In addition to teaching practical methods for bathing people with dementia and related disorders, the CD ROM also offers 3 hours of Continuing Education Credit (CEU) for nurses and 2 hours of CEU credits for nursing assistants and administrators. The enclosed video (available in VHS or DVD format) offers an additional 1 hour of CEU credit for nursing assistants.
