Hi stacey1210,

This is about being diplomatic ie by asking an individual if they would like to have a bath rather than saying "I think you need a bath".

However, you must remember that although you might think its important to bath or shower every day the individual might not agree.

If there is a definite issue about their personal hygiene, such as others complaining that the individual smells then you must address it privately and in a manner that shows respect. If you need to tell them that they smell you don't make an issue of it but just explain that it can be easily dealt with and you are there to help if they wish.

Hope that helps

Aunty Sue
