Note: Unless your elderly person is very nimble, be very careful about asking him/her to get into a bath -- make sure he/she can get up again without your having to lift the person and break your back. Also, a slip can cause terrible injuries like broken bones. Careful about baths for the elderly. I'd avoid, personally.

Also, my best friend's father died from a shower that was too hot. One must monitor everything with an elderly person.

They have those lift machines in the NH. I saw them when I toured the home. Seems safe. The nurse said some residents prefer the whirlpool bath because it helps with aches and pain.

Awful with water too hot with your friend’s dad. I always ask mom to feel the temp of the water.

I guess I should have figured that it would be illegal to give someone meds without their consent, even if the person is not mentally capable and there is a POA in effect. It does keep unscrupulous relatives from doping up their elders against their will, I suppose. It's a difficult situation all the way around, and I pray that you find a good solution soon. I hope I never have to deal with this with anyone in my family, nor do I want anyone to have to deal with me in a situation like this. *sigh*
