My mom's primary told her she had to shower twice a week. The other days she had to get a good & thorough sink bath.

Mom was extremely afraid of falling & got very cold. We had a shower chair. Her towels were warmed in the dryer so she could be wrapped up good afterwards.

This did help a lot. The only person that she allowed to shower her was her evening caregiver. Tell mom either she showers or she has to move.

Same. All of what you said.

Look into a facility for her. She needs more care than you can provide. Refusing showers is common. Is the room warmed up prior? Is the room free of drafts? Is the water hitting her frightening to her or painful?

You could try to get an aid to help her with a shower to see if that makes a difference.
