Hello.
I hope someone can help me with a slightly delicate problem.
My wife has Alzheimers and recently she's stopped showering every day. I've tried to encourage her but that often ends in us arguing.
I have asked her calmly why she doesn't shower daily and tried to explain the need to do so but all she says is "I don't like it". I have tried to shock her into keeping herself clean by telling her she smells, which she does, but nothing is working.
Does anyone have any ideas?
