Your question is unclear. We do not understand what you mean by "sensitivity." If you mean "are they naturally afraid of water," some people are. Since a person's oldest memories tend to be the last to go in cases of dementia, early adverse experiences with water could contribute to an aversion -- that, at least, is one theory. The person's physician should be able to tell you more about the specific case. If the person is simply avoiding baths, etc., it may be that he or she resents being told what to do. That is the proximate cause of many problems with dementia sufferers. They do not understand, and believe they are being forced to do things. You wouldn't like that, either. Careful explanation, a calm tone, and some patience can often work wonders.
