PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bathing apparatus for nursing care capable of providing comfortable bath by discharging residual water in a flow passage connected from a hot water storage tank to a bathtub and a pump before feeding the hot water to the bathtub, thereby preventing uncomfortable operations such as feeding the cold residual water to the bathtub and splashing the cold bath water onto a person in need of care.SOLUTION: The bathing apparatus for nursing care includes: a discharge-side branch flow passage being branched from a pump side of a bathtub-side flow passage and extending to the outside and a residual water discharge on/off valve that is provided near a branch point between the discharge-side branch flow passage and the bath-side flow passage. When the hot water supply to the hot water storage tank is started, the residual water discharge on/of valve is opened and, after a prescribed time elapses from the time when the hot water supply to the hot water storage tank is started, the residual water discharge on/off valve is closed.
