This is a great example of when detail explains what the needs are. If you haven’t already, write all this down, since if the questions are not asked about detail, then assumptions are made. What you describe fits the definition of needing assistance with bathing, but if the right questions aren’t asked, or the vet glosses over the fact that he doesn’t want to say personal details, there is a chance that this will be overlooked. Write this up and ask that the evaluator/RN/PCM add it to his medical records.
