Supporting comfort and dignity in care
- before, during and after
For most people, hygiene care is a task carried out independently and in private. When hospitalized or in long term care, residents are faced with the situation of being naked in front of strangers during hygiene routines. To cope with the exposed nature of the routine, extra need for comfort and dignity, both physically and psychologically, might be required.
Hygiene care for people living with dementia
For the person living with dementia, the need for support in personal hygiene increases gradually during the progression of the disease. The loss of independence and privacy can be intimidating, unpleasant or even threatening for the individual. To minimise moments of friction the Hygiene Comfort Collection accessories can help support the extra need for comfort and dignity. Thorough assessment and planning, together with the person in care, is needed to minimise the risk of the person feeling less autonomous and exposed.¹
