Intimate Hygiene |
|
Help isn't always helpful. |
Written by Lin Stone
| Mama was crying. I
heard her sobs through the bathroom door and knocked softly.
"Mama, Mama, what's wrong?"
As the taut silence stretched out between us I realized what the problem was. For a long moment I stood poised with indecision; I didn't want to embarrass her by performing the task myself. Nor did I want to call my wife to provide personal hygienic care to my mother. How does Polly handle these situations? I wondered. My cousin Polly works at the Zimmerman Nursing Home in Carlisle. "She probably gets used to it, but what about the patients? Can they ever get used to needing someone to wipe their private parts for them?" What was it like, I wondered. What would it be like to grow old, feeling useless and unloved because of things I could no longer do? My wife showed up then and rushed to the rescue. I drifted away, still wondering. "If only there were a way - - -. Well NOW, Thank Goodness,

According to Dr. Ronald G. Rubin, MD, PASARR examiner and Chief of Psychiatry
for Geriatric Behavioral Healthcare Group, "Patients who have used the
Solution ComfortSeat(R) are extremely encouraged by its results. Many of our
patients who are unable to wipe themselves must rely on caregivers to assist
them. The Solution ComfortSeat(R) not only eliminates this embarrassment, it rebuilds the patients' self-esteem."
This helps restore the dignity and independence they once enjoyed.
By enabling patients to easily and properly clean their intimate areas,
the Solution ComfortSeat® is also able to reduce the spread of disease
from
contact with the stool-borne bacterium, enterococcus.
The device connects right on a standard toilet in just a matter of
minutes.
There are several models with prices starting at only $129.95 Many
models come with 16-month warranties. The
state-of-the-art
Ultimate Solution ComfortSeat® will run right at $1099.95. But the
good news is that in many cases,
the patient's health-care insurance
provider covers some or all the costs of
the units.
"We can also custom build models with the user's physical limitations in
mind so they can control units with their left or right hand, their back, or
a foot -- bringing newfound independence and dignity back for our users,"
says Great Ideas President,
Scott Rubin.
At the touch of a button, the device provides a front and rear adjustable
temperature/pressure water
washing process which delivers a much better
cleansing than toilet paper could ever provide. The water temperature is
adjustable. The water nozzles can be individually and independently aimed.
And, there is a built in water filter. Then, there is a sealed in
electronic unit
that is capable of self-diagnosis.
Assisted care facilities throughout the U.S. are quickly embracing
the
bathroom aid that helps them avoid all this dirty work. In fact, the
push button-easy Solution ComfortSeat® is getting rave reviews from
healthcare workers everywhere.
