DFIL has vascular dementia, been with us in a "Grandad" flat for 8 years. Continence has been a severe problem for most of the time. Been on holiday and collected him from respite yesterday and he has a catheter in. We have guardianship and knew nothing. That's not the issue - if he was in pain do what gives him relief. But I am scared and (to my shame) disgusted by the catheter. We knew we were reaching the point where his continuing care at home was in question. Anyone had any experience with elderly relatives and catheters?
