Some of our ladies, we tell them we will curl their hair or do their makeup but they have to get cleaned up first. They love it!

Rubber duckys work too. A lot of older folks didn't have them as kids so it would be a bid deal for them to have some.

I know it’s bad, but we had residents in the past who would only get in the tub if we said “oh no you’re starting to get smelly! Gotta clean you up!”

We would tell my mother-in-law “I have the shower ready that you asked me for a few minutes ago!” She never wanted to admit that she forgot anything.

It really helps to motivate the lady’s to put curlers in there hair after the shower. They are always ready to shower if the get there hair curled.

my trick was to not "say" anything, but to accompany them to the bathroom to go to the toilet, and turn the shower on.

If someone told me I smelled bad, it would motivate me to shower. I assume saying this is a bad idea?
