Hello

Hi 

So sorry to hear about your mum . I am wondering if the Macmillan nurses on our helpline might have experienced with those caring / nursing aspects as they have years of hands on experience. 0808 808 0000. The district nurses might also be able to assist with the continence aspect too .

There is most definitely equipment on the market to assist people to get their hair washed from bed . But I am not sure who supplies them but if you phone social work their occupational therapists should do a priority assessment of your mum’s needs including her self care aspects and assist her where possible . You GP can also refer her as a priority. The helpline staff could also advise you how to go about this in your mum’s area as there are differences depending where she is located .

Take care ,

Court 

Thank you.
