One of the main reasons people with Alzheimer's disease or Dementia don't complete personal care tasks such as brushing teeth or bathing is that the bathroom seems like a very unfamiliar place. Many people with these diseases have trouble locating the bathroom.
You can help a great deal by posting a sign on the bathroom door and labeling your loved one's toiletry items so he or she recognizes their personal care items and uses them appropriately.
