My father in law won’t bathe or change clothes

My husband has dire mobility issues - he cannot negotiate our tub (too high) nor our 29" square shower (he's too big and wide). My solution has been sponge baths in the bed.  I have a waterproof king size flat bed sheet, lots of towels and a package of full-body disposable washcloths (used for campers).  That takes care of his body. I give him pedicures every few months and a dye shampoo and hair cuts.  I had to just create new standards that I could live with since the bathroom is too dangerous.  Once he's naked, I change his shorts and tee shirts.  Hope this helps!
