Many people with dementia do not want to bathe at all, but will tell family that they do it all of the time. Hygiene is one of the first things to go with dementia. Or, it may just be too hard and wears her out. She may refuse help but you probably need to make an appt for a home care representative to visit your home and meet with you and her. They are used to people being resistant to help and may be able to get her to agree to try it. Good luck!

you can start now! Also take her to dr to see why she’s getting dizzy. What is causing it? Could be: blood pressure, sugar problem, dehydrated, medication side effects, inner ear problem. She should have a blood test, cardio gram. Do you have safety bars in shower? A shower chair? How is her mobility? She definitely needs someone to help her with shower & getting in & out. Even when my mother walked, I helped her with shower & stay with her.She held onto bars & sat in shower chair. Now my mother gets bed bath since she’s totally immobile. Hugs 🤗
