Hi, does anyone have any useful ideas or tips on how to get a parent with Alzheimer's to give me their clothes for washing?
A lifelong habit of not wanting clothes washed is now increasingly difficult to manage due to his Alzheimers.
We've tried the usual reasoning etc, but as he still has enough capacity to comprehend and refuse or argue that his clothes don't need washing-its getting ridiculous.
He dresses/undresses himself , by himself, so we don't get too involved in personal hygiene.
We haven't tried to sneak into the bedroom at night when he's asleep to try to change his clothes.
Help please.
