Not Incontinence but bathroom messes and clothes soiling

That’s a lot of work and stress…that’s for sure. It sounds like it is not sustainable. Will help come in while you are at work?
I have read about clothing that is designed for people who have dementia. It fits them and connects in a way that prevents them from removing their trousers. So, their waste will stay in their pullups and not go on the furniture and floor. I never used them, but read about some who did use them for their loved ones.
I hope you can get some relief. Do you know what condition is causing your husband dementia?

I am a retired teacher, so I am here. We do have an AMAZING caregiver that comes in for 30- 40 hours a week. The VA helps us pay for his services. When help is here, I go see my 97 year old dad (who fell and broke his hip a week ago - another long story as he is not in grest health which means the hip cannot be surgically repaired) and help take care of him....and run a few errands in between. It is hard, and sometimes very lonely, but I am grateful for excellent health and help in our home. As long as my health holds out - we will keep this course and still hope the Calvary will show up.
