The Huashan Foundation offers an innovative service that is different from the bath service. Especially in the hot summer, Taiwan is a humid climate, so if you can take a bath comfortably, you can keep the bedridden elders comfortable.
Elderly people who need to take a bath, such as those who are bedridden or semi-bedridden.
To apply to the Wah Shan Foundation branches, you need to obtain prior consent from the elders or family members (caregivers) before making an appointment with the volunteers to visit your home.
1. At least three volunteers are required to be present at each practice to make the bathing process smooth and to ensure the safety of the elders, one volunteer to put in the bath water and the other two volunteers to help the elders to bathe.
2. Usually, a layer of waterproof plastic sheet is put on the bed of the elders, and then movable brackets are used to build a temporary bathing space around the bed of the elders, and then warm water is diverted to the temporary bathing space, so that the bed-ridden elders can comfortably take a bath.
3. To prevent elders from catching cold, keep warm during bathing in winter and do not turn on the air conditioner in summer.
