Oh this is tricky but I visited mum today and she really smells. It’s so hard to sit near her.
Personal hygiene is always something mum has controlled ie. She’ll only have it when she wants it, she can refuse for quite long periods and other times will let the carers wash her and change her clothes.
There’s no real answer to this as such, just wanted to voice it really.
I come home and I can still smell the smell, if you know what I mean.
If she’s not showered on my next visit I will speak to the carers. I think, for her the idea of it all is a lot of effort but at the same time a basic levels of hygiene really needs to happen.
Thanks
