Suggest Treatment For Alzheimer S Disease
My Father is in the late stages of Alzheimer s. He has started to urinate on himself and in bed. How can I get him to either hold his urine long enough to get to the toilet? Or how can I deal with this issue. He is wearing Depends, but still makes a mess and is wet from urine. I am concerned about him getting diaper rash or something worst.
