Abstract
An apparatus is provided having a diverter member attachable to a shower water supply pipe for passing warm water along first and second paths, and a distributor coupled to the diverter member for receiving water via conduit(s) along the first path, in which the distributor is retained in a water dispersion member to enable positioning of the distributor over at least over the shoulders of the person. The distributor has holes to distribute water onto the upper body of the person, via the dispersion member. The diverter member can be coupled to a handheld showerhead to provide water along a second path to the showerhead to enable showering of the person while the water is continuously being provided along the first path via the distributor via the openings to maintain the person in a warmed state. Flow of water may be controllable separately along the first and second paths.
