Go to youtube and watch the teepa snow videos on how to bathe the elderly patient. Get the MD to order in home OT who can show you where to put grab bars, a shower seat and skid mat and handheld shower.

Does she live with you? Mine does but it's still hard sometimes to make her get a shower at least two times a week (and make her understand the importance of personal hygiene).,,,,
