Elderly parents

Incontinent parent won’t wear pads

Elderly parent who lives with me suffers from dementia and incontinence (frequent urinary and sometimes fecal).

Because of the dementia, they do not know they are incontinent and won’t wear a pad. They get aggressive and upset when I suggest pads. Each time it happens, they are convinced it is a one-off.

The resultant mess is frequent and substantial. The washing machine is always on. I’m constantly having to replace underwear/trousers/bedding. The house smells awful. I have found pieces of poo on the floor on multiple occasions. I don’t even want to think about the carpet.

I don’t know what to do. Does anyone have any experience of this or advice? Thank you.

Should read *laminate flooring, though some flirting never goes amiss 😂

Hi - I wondered how this was going for you as I now have the same issue with my dad - he just takes off the incontinance pads / pull ups, or wears them around his thighs. Every time a carer turns their back he pulls them down.

Op hope things are manageable for you ?
