Dementia: How to encourage her to go to the restroom? UTI concern

It can be stressful. I’m dealing with something similar. My dad thinks he has to go a lot and stays and stays. It’s a huge issue. Meds are helping some.
Have you tried keeping her in pullups? I might discuss it with her doctor for guidance. It’s very difficult to get cooperation, if the person is not able to process information.
Caring for someone in the home after a certain point is extremely challenging without professional help. We are exploring options now.

Yes we made a Docs appt and just feels like we just going with the glow not much can be done I guess I’m so tired trying to handle every situation but hard she’s wants her way she throws her washcloth in toilet says she washed her face and brush her teeth she don’t she’s starting to not wipe herself very defiant not sure how to talk to her j try to be nice that doesn’t work I tried speaking to her like the nurses at hospital did when she was in there from falling out of bed hittin her head that works a little I don’t know but when my husband tells her to do something 90% of time she listens to him so it’s quite a challenge
