My wife never wants to bathe. And this morning she refused her pills, regardless of my proven tactics. But we have a daughter who can persuade her to do what needs to be done. She calls my wife every other day to remind her to shower. No problem there. This morning I called her, and told her her mother would not take her meds. She talked to her mother on speaker phone. She said she has an app on her phone that tells her when she takes her meds, and when she showers. My wife bought it! I didn't know if anyone else here could use this, but it's worth a shot if you can.
