Mother does not want to change clothes or bathe.

Elders chill easily. Warm the bathroom up to 85, Use pre-heated towels. Watch the teepa snow video on youtube about bathing. She will actually get someone into the shower with clothes on, wash their legs and oops the pants are wet, or oops the shirt is wet and then the patient will want to exchange them for a dry towel or robe. This way only small areas are exposed at any one time, and modesty is preserved, plus chilling is averted.
