Is the bathroom carpeted? If not, you can use a small shower bench that extends the width of the tub. Your mom can sit on the bench and with a detachable shower head you can get her clean. However, you might want to put towels down on the floor (if it's tile) so it's not slippery. It makes a mess but the only other alternative would be sponge baths.
