I think it would be fine for her to get in the shower or bathe in front of the sink with her pajamas on a couple times a week. Are there any harms or issues I'm not thinking of?
Mom says she is afraid of "the people" seeing her naked, and especially if they decide to put her on TV, which she says they do sometimes. She can tell when she's being video-taped because lights come on (lights that I don't see). The people are hallucinations that she sees most of the time. Some of them have names, some are nice, some are creepy. Some are adults, some are children, some are tiny babies. They are often in the room with her while they are simultaneously in West Palm Beach or Richmond. She says there are thousands of men named Mike and thousands named John, and all the Mikes and Johns look the same.
She may need a mild anxiety med to ease the stress of hallucinations. You could try to reassure her no one is watching her, or tell her you’ve made them leave.
if all else fails, maybe try a loose swimsuit?
I've tried telling her the people aren't there. It doesn't work. She says they argue with me! Haha! What a ride.

I’ve seen them at other companies, as well.
Your Mom's primary doctor or even a visit to urgent care can run this test (pee in a cup) and check the findings while you wait. Antibiotics will help cure a UTI.
I was thinking maybe even a man's Large, that's really long so you could maybe get her to at least take her pants off.
Otherwise I see nothing wrong with it. We just adjust to there needs the best we can.
Would she accept female assistant who may calm her down enough to do proper bathing.
Just thinking bathing in her pajamas could be very minimal cleaning and dangerous. Is she stable enough if she splashes water around her. I cannot imagine proper bathing in sink in pajamas.
Father was refusing showers, felt exposed, people watching etc. The familiy's solutuon was to install a shower curtain in the AL (at their expense) let him shower himself (they suspected he stood there not actually washing anything) & family took turns hovering around *for safety* waiting in the bedroom. Family had to sigh a disclosure if he fell as not actively supervised.
Sometimes families have to do theirs in the best way that fits them. It may not be right for others.
But I think that lady knew how far their solution was getting from common sense as she told me.
Sometimes keeping to common sense becomes the challenge!.. :(
