Some people may see this and say, can you ask your children to help you take a bath, or just find a nurse? In fact, it's still not safe enough.

If you don't pay attention, the elderly may slip and fall. It only took a second or two for the old man to slip and fall, and there was no time to help him.
On the other hand, taking a bath is a very private matter. No one wants their naked body to be looked at by others, let alone strangers, but the elderly cannot take a bath by themselves. Therefore, the psychological pressure they bear is beyond our imagination. of. If there is a
bath chair , it is a treasure for the elderly who can take a bath by themselves! It is safer and easier for them to take a bath sitting on the bathing chair, and they don’t have to be careful.

Is the bath chair worth buying?
Bathing is a way for us to clean our bodies. It can wash away stains and bacteria on the body. In addition, it can also help eliminate fatigue. It can be said that taking a bath frequently is also good for our health. But when taking a bath, we must pay attention to the frequency, especially for the elderly, who should pay attention to bathing, which is different from young people. the
bath chair is very easy to use, especially suitable for the elderly. When purchasing, you should choose according to your own situation. Let's take a look at the precautions for the elderly to take a bath:
1. Add enough water
The bathroom has poor ventilation, high temperature, and high humidity, resulting in low oxygen levels in the bathroom. Elderly people are generally weak in constitution, and they tend to feel thirsty after taking a bath for a long time, and then appear dizziness, heart palpitations, chest tightness, and other symptoms, which are very dangerous. It is best for the elderly to add enough water before entering the bathroom. 1 hour in advance, prepare about 500 ml of warm boiled water, drink it slowly, and drink it in about 1 hour. When taking a bath, you can also bring a bottle of water into the bathroom, every 15-25 minutes, and replenish water in time when you are thirsty. You should also drink some water after taking a bath, but it is not advisable to drink in large gulps, so as not to increase the burden on the heart by drinking a large amount of water at one time, as may cause "water intoxication" in severe cases. After taking a bath, you can also drink a small cup of light salt water, rest for 5-10 minutes, and then drink small amounts of water several times.
2. Appropriate energy supplement
When taking a bath, the sultry environment will consume part of the energy of the human body, and the metabolism is faster at this time, which will cause people to feel hungry when taking a bath. If the elderly go into the bathroom to take a bath without eating, they will easily feel dizzy and nauseous. Therefore, the elderly should not go into the bathroom on an empty stomach, and it is best to keep it half full. It is also not advisable to overeat to avoid feeling overtired when taking a bath. You can also eat some chocolate and candy before taking a bath to replenish energy.
3. Confirm that there is no discomfort
Many elderly people suffer from chronic diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and a little carelessness may cause disease attacks. In a closed and stuffy environment like a bathroom, it may lead to telangiectasia, insufficient cardiac output, ischemia, and hypoxia in brain tissue, and may even lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, before the elderly take a bath, they must ensure that their bodies are in good condition. Try not to take a bath when you have just finished eating, taking medicine, or when you feel sleepy, weak, dizzy, and nauseated, so as not to aggravate the symptoms due to humidity and heat. Before entering the bathroom, make sure that the elderly have no symptoms such as dizziness or nausea. For the elderly with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, it is best to prepare some common emergency medicines when taking a bath.
4. Bring a bath chair
The elderly have limited physical strength and may feel powerless standing for a long time, and are prone to fainting and slipping. Therefore, the elderly can take a bath chair to borrow strength when taking a bath. If you are tired from standing, you can sit and wash, which saves energy and does not worry about slipping. It is best to lay anti-slip mats before the elderly take a bath.
Four principles for choosing a bath chair
look at the stability
This mainly depends on two parts, the seat cushion, and the foot pad. First of all, the cushion should not be smooth but should have anti-slip treatment, such as a striped design, and it should not be too hard, because most elderly people are thin, and it will be uncomfortable to sit too hard for a long time. Most of the foot pads are of suction cup type, which can firmly hold the ground when in use. Secondly, the drainage holes on the cushion can speed up water penetration and reduce the discomfort of touching the skin. It is also best to have the backrest and side armrests, which will make the user more relaxed, and the armrests will help stabilize the sitting posture.
A second look at comfort
Elderly people are generally afraid of the cold, so the cushions and backrests should be made of constant temperature materials for the parts that touch the skin so that they will not feel cold even in winter.
Three looks at the support
Looking at the main material of the
bath chair , aluminum alloy, and stainless steel are commonly used in the market, but most of them use aluminum alloy. This material is not easy to rust, is light, and strong, and is now widely used in various elderly care products.
Four looks at the practicality
Everyone's height is different, so it is best to adjust the height of the bath chair because it is safer to have your legs on the ground in a comfortable posture when bathing.
