Shower please?

I sit next to him and the odor is less than appealing, his feet are black with filth, his hands--oh dear lord his hands-- his hair is so stiff from dirt, I itch just being in the same zip code and I don't know what to do! How do I get him to look after his basic needs? how do I let him know it's safe to wash, get food and drink from the fridge, change his clothes? It's been over three months and and I'm at a loss--
Any suggestions?
