Developed by Cecil G. Sheps Center of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the Oregon Health and Science University, Bathing Without a Battle (BWOB) is an educational program for direct care staff/caregivers that is designed to create a better bathing experience for persons with Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias as well as for the staff/person caring for them.  Over ten years of research has shown that eldercare providers implementing BWOB have seen  more than a 50% reduction in aggressive incidents, significant decline in discomfort, and no increased colonization of harmful bacteria.
