By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.
VI. No Waiver of Your Rights. APFM does not (and may not) require or even ask consumers seeking senior housing or care services in Washington State to sign waivers of liability for losses of personal property or injury or to sign waivers of any rights established under law.I agree that: A.I authorize A Place For Mom ("APFM") to collect certain personal and contact detail information, as well as relevant health care information about me or from me about the senior family member or relative I am assisting ("Senior Living Care Information"). B.APFM may provide information to me electronically. My electronic signature on agreements and documents has the same effect as if I signed them in ink. C.APFM may send all communications to me electronically via e-mail or by access to an APFM web site. D.If I want a paper copy, I can print a copy of the Disclosures or download the Disclosures for my records. E.This E-Sign Acknowledgement and Authorization applies to these Disclosures and all future Disclosures related to APFM's services, unless I revoke my authorization.

F.You consent to APFM's reaching out to you using a phone system than can auto-dial numbers (we miss rotary phones, too!), but this consent is not required to use our service.

If money is an issue, maybe a sliding shower chair

There are bars that go over the side of the tub

If money is an issue, call your Office of Aging to see if there are any grants where you can replace ur tub with a walkin shower. Try your county Disabilities Dept.
A Hoyer Lift would help
You could also look into getting a “Shower Aide” that could also help. They are trained to safely help in a shower or bath.
An expensive option would be one of the “walk in tubs” ( cost is about that of a car!)
Some drug stores carry them, and some DME's also stock them.
Another option is to get a slide over bench, which would extend over into the tub. You would sit down on the outside portion, hold onto one of the rails while you lift your feet and scoot over into the tub. All bathing would be done sitting, so lifting should not be an issue.

Next step is to try what are called "sponge baths" meaning washing up from the bathroom sink. Place a bath rug down in front of the sink. Place a bar of soap inside a wash cloth and get it so it can suds up. Rinse off the best you can, the bath towel will take in any soap left over.
Another way to bathe is using prepacked cloths that have a bath soap already in the cloths.
Another product I like is Wet Wipes that are sold in the grocery store, great for those private areas when you don't feel like taking a bath :)
