Each week I have to coax my mother into the shower. Today she wanted nothing to do with it! She did eventually shower but when she was done she came at me with her cane, and then tried to choke me. I'm not sure how to handle her anger, any suggestions?
She remains warm, doesn't have to strip down to get into the shower, and doesn't face the slip and fall challenges of doing so.
There is an excellent video, only 4 minutes, on youtube. Look for "Teepa Snow bathing".
2. Tell the doctor about her agitation around showering and get her some meds for that.
