How can I bathe safely if I have Parkinson's disease?

Here are some tips on safe showering and bathing if you or a loved one has Parkinson's disease:Purchase an inexpensive resin or webbed outdoor chair or bench so that you can sit while bathing or showering. This will reduce your risk of slipping in the shower. Purchase these chairs at home supply or discount stores.

Consider buying a removable showerhead on a flexible, hand-held extension hose. They are fairly inexpensive, easy to install, and make showering much easier, especially if you’re sitting on a tub bench or shower chair. However, a hand-held shower nozzle can be very slippery and hard to grip when your hands are soapy; you’ll have better control if you wind several rubber bands around the handle portion of the nozzle.

You will find hand-held showerheads at hardware or home stores. A bath lift or bathtub transfer bench can make getting in and out of the tub much easier. Bath lifts connect to a faucet or shower pipe and use water pressure to lower you into and raise you out of the water; they have hand controls, so that you can operate them without assistance.

Some models are portable and lightweight, so that you can take them with you when you travel. Ask an occupational therapist about how to set up and adjust an appropriate bathtub transfer bench.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest.
