Abstract
Our day service team succeeded in aged customers to be more healthy with daily walking exercises. A man of 78 years old who had anxiety about an independent walk with a weak muscular strength at lower limbs, and his care degree was 1. He expected an independent bathing, but he could not take a bath without all assistance. At first we begun to communicate with him and tried not to feel anxiety to walk. For the next, we assisted his walk by dividing 15m distances from his bed to bathroom in 3 parts to take each rest by stop-ping 5m. In a dressing room, he took off a coat by himself and pants by assistance of a staff. We talked with him and relaxed him during taking a bath. A way back, as same as going, too. As a result of repeated assis-tances, he got possible to take a bath by partial assistance. The Barthel index increased about "Bathing" and "Grooming", and total value improved from 10 to 20.
