[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think "weekly shower" explains much of need for persimmon soap. [/quote] Then you clearly know nothing about caring for elderly people, especially those with dementia. Elderly people have thin skin that dries out easily. If they have dementia or physical limitations, they’re often not capable of showering themselves alone and need supervision. Elderly people with dementia often feel cold, they’re afraid of water, afraid of falling, etc. which causes them to be reluctant to shower. Any caregiver knows that the days of daily showers are over with elderly people, so adjustments have to be made. If the elderly person is not incontinent and doesn’t do any activities that cause them to be sweaty, a weekly shower is sufficient. [/quote]
