You are right, helping an adult in and out of a shower is not easy especially afterwards if they’re still wet. Taking shower can be exhausting for them, too and they may not have much energy left to help. Make sure to put a clean t-shirt on them after the shower to make it easy and their skin not so slick when transferring them back into the wheelchair. ✌️❤️ AECorner.com
Some clients wheelchairs will not fit in the shower because of the way the shower is made. Some aides have to physically remove client from wheelchair and place them in the shower. Then once shower is complete..the Aide has to transfer client from shower to wheelchair
