Alzheimer Patient. Becomes Enraged When Tried To Get Her In Shower
I care for an altzheimer patient who will not shower. I have tried everything that I can possibly think of, such as temperature of room, seating, making it her choice, etc. The family is currently unable to keep anyone to care for her, as she becomes enraged when they try to get her in the shower. Any advice would be most helpful to this very precious woman.
