Outcomes

The resident's response to the Gentle Bathing experience is documented using the EDGE Evaluation of Resident Response to Gentle Bathing (PDF, 39KB, 1pg.), each time it is carried out, until the optimum method of bathing the resident is reached. The steps to the bathing ritual followed are then written in the care plan, taught to all staff who bathe the resident and becomes part of the routine care of the resident.
