Yes, it might be a little hot.
Gesture & etiquette
Test water temperature on your own wrist first; speak before turning on the shower; adjust temperature immediately if they signal discomfort; cover their face with a dry towel during rinsing to prevent water getting in their eyes.
Always check water temperature on your own wrist before directing it toward the person — elderly skin is more sensitive to heat; asking 'いかがですか?' actively during the process (not just at the start) maintains continuous communication and trust throughout.
