LUXE Bidet and NAIPC Team Up To Help Older Adults Affected by the California Wildfires

LOS ANGELES - Feb. 12, 2025 - PRLog -- The National Aging in Place Council (NAIPC) is pleased to announce the donation of a shipment of bidets by LUXE Bidet, contributed as part of a drive to assist older adults with items of need destroyed by the Southern California wildfires.

"As a Southern California-based company, we witnessed the ongoing devastation caused by the LA fires. We were informed that the NAIPC needed a specific donation: bidet attachments. Recognizing that this was an area where we could immediately make a meaningful contribution, we promptly reached out to explore how we could assist in addressing the needs within the bathroom sector," said Emma Dunnigan, Social and PR Marketing Manager at LUXE Bidet.

Bidets help those with limited mobility, arthritis, or other physical conditions to maintain independence in daily personal care routines. The water stream provides a soothing and thorough cleanse, which can be gentler on sensitive skin compared to wiping with toilet paper, reducing the risk of irritation, rashes, or urinary tract infections (UTIs).

"Many of these older adults have lost not just their homes, but all of the items that help them maintain their independence," said Tara Ballman, Executive Director of NAIPC.

Donations and supplies for older adults will be accepted at the following locations throughout Southern California:

Westlake Village
Keller Williams Office – Attn Cory Boldroff

"Older adult communities are often overlooked in disaster relief efforts, and we recognized that partnering with the NAIPC presented an opportunity to make a meaningful impact. Hygiene and support should be accessible to all individuals, regardless of age, and we are committed to ensuring that these basic needs can be met for everyone, " said Dunnigan.
