I tend to choose my battles. I have wipes, gloves if needed and when my spouse ask me to help him get cleaned up I talk to him and praise him..not always pleasant conversation. I will say he does smell great and I tell him so..he cannot smell anymore. Not always easily done. 😊

That part about it not always being easy. It's why I also say Bravo to all of you. Had some care-taking experiences myself. Shared thankfully but the glitches that of course happen add more stress & strain and are always lurking. Very challenging.
I really hope each of you have the chance for a bit of pampering in support of your well-being. Massage Day, Mani/Pedi Day, Hair-Do Day whatever works for you Day. !!
Yikes, congrats and air hugs to you all for all the ways you're helping.
