Tub Room Comfort
Some residents of Memory Care look forward to their time in the tub, but many others do not. Whatever the reasons, we can help with imagery to make the environment more homelike and familiar, starting with the door entrance that assists the resident in understanding the location and activity about to take place.
On the inside, it is important to have more signage to remind the resident of their location as a lapse in concentration may cause them to be confused about where they are and what is happening. Familiar bathroom imagery will provide further assurance.
Starting at the Entrance
Door wraps for Tub/Shower Rooms
Door wraps come with client’s choice of flower-filled wall sconce or orchid (also on wrap material)
Many homes and their residents like the reference to “The Spa”, however, for some homes, something more specific is required, therefore we are offering alternative wording as illustrated below.
Alternative wording for signage
“I just wanted to tell you about the number of comments we have received on the spa room that you did for us at …….Place in London. The residents are enjoying having their tub baths. Staff and family members have commented on how inviting the room is now and it is also helping with some of the responsive behaviours that we were previously seeing in regards to bathing.”

How to get started
We know we have creative clients!
And this is where you let your imagination shine - here are a few tips to help you out with your project.
Dream it
the “Welcome” signs are meant to be seen upon entry whenever possible. This is to reassure the resident/patient of this room’s purpose and that they are in a friendly place.
print off the page of choices you see here and imagine where you can place “groupings” of objects. For example, whatever direction the resident/patient is facing when in the tub or shower is a good place for a grouping.
choose items that contrast well with your walls so they will stand out. If your walls are very pale, better to chose the darker bathroom cabinet wraps rather than the white ones.
“Build” it
if you are planning to paint your tub/shower room first, prepare to wait a week before applying your wraps. Paint takes a long time to “cure” especially in humid environments. This will ensure maximum adherence of your images.
Measure your wall spaces to make sure your “dream” arrangement fits in the area you have in mind.
Choose “groupings” such as you see below, as “vignettes” rather than scattering images around the room (which can look cluttered and confusing). You are aiming for a serene look that resembles a homelike retro-bathroom setting.
