Suggestions with Bowel incontinence

That sounds quite daunting. When my cousin became double incontinent, the staff members at the facility put her in disposable underwear or diapers. They changed her on a schedule and according to when it was needed. Learning new skills is not typical of people who have dementia. Eventually, the ability to control bladder and bowel is gone.

Thank you for your comments. Mom has been using disposable depends for the past 5 years. She has just recently become bowel incontinent also. I try to keep her on a schedule, but inevitably her bowels will move during the night and then I have a big mess when I wake her in the morning.
