My Mom at Gate Lodge

So, my mom is at Gate Lodge and not doing well. She has been getting in trouble for not participating with the program (giving people one word answers, no willingness to stop drinking, hiding food)...and now they are seriously worried about her hygiene.

Her hygiene: she has not showered in ~1 year and she has bouts of fecal incontinence. They had to force her to get in the shower, which she did. But then they realized that she was not using soap, so now they have to watch her bathe.

She says that the water irritates her skin. I'm not sure what to make of this. Any thoughts?
