Good tips. I used several types of no rinse/cry shampoos with my mom–who had Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s–and bathing was such a big chore. Sometimes bathing created a sweet moment–an intimacy between my mom and I that I’ll always cherish. Other times, it was very very difficult–Alzheimer’s is a relentless disease with many tricks up its sleeve. Still, we loved, laughed, cried, and made our way through.

I hope you’ll check out my blog–I write about all kinds of caregiving issues.
Nice to meet you—
