Accessible bathing service
At The Prince of Wales Hospice, we provide a calm, private space where you can enjoy a relaxing bath with gentle support from our friendly team.
Relaxing, dignified bathing for everyone
Our Accessible Bathing Service in Pontefract offers a safe, relaxing, and dignified way for people who find bathing difficult due to frailty, mobility challenges, or long‑term health conditions. Our purpose‑built bathing suite includes a supportive Jacuzzi‑style bath designed to help you feel comfortable and secure. Whether you want a gentle therapeutic soak, relief from aches, or simply time to unwind, our team is here to make your experience warm, enjoyable, and fully supported.
A warm supportive bath can help:
- Reduce stress and promote relaxation
- Soothe stiff or aching muscles
- Enhance circulation and physical comfort
- Improve emotional wellbeing
