Use a sedative AFTER the bath.

Elderly came from a different era. The shame letting someone see her naked. You give her the shower. They have mesh and pvc shower chairs. Get assistance to transport her and this way you can also check her body for any abuse, bed sores, etc.

Dry shampoo will help greasy hair. It does leave a bit of a residue though. But you could probably use it 2 or 3 times between shampoos, maybe more - just don’t go too heavy on the spray. Hope this helps.

I would give her the chance to bathe herself. If she won't, then whoever her guardian is has the authority to call in some strong back up and physically put her in the shower and bathe her themselves. Believe me, a good nursing home will make sure residents are cleaned up one way or another, especially if the smell is strong enough to sicken others
