Vital Call
All dementia sufferers loathe having a shower. As they decline you will need shower rails and a chair in the shower for them to sit on.

Vital Call
I had vital call, which is a button they wear around their neck, can wear it in the shower, so if they fall they press the button, there is a speaker in her home and they will organise assistance. Sadly mum could not remember what it was for. So decided to cancel it, as it was a waste of money. They do have falls and I did find mum on the floor a number of times unable to get up off the floor, which is heart breaking.
