@A myALZteam Member:
Yesterday, I asked my son if he would like me to put a calendar page on the big mirror in his bathroom, so he could put an "X" on the days when he showers, and a checkmark for brushing his teeth. (He tries to shower every other day, but sometimes he forgets.) He said that might be a good idea, so we're going to give that a try. I'm just going to print one calendar page at a time, from my computer.

My husband wears and sleeps in same clothes for 3-4 days
I finally tell him that he smells bad and other people don't like to be around that. Since he likes to go out daily that works. He doesn't dislike shower. He seems most to mind the effort of it all. Washing, drying and putting on clean clothes. Good luck!
