She has Dementia & PD, uses a walker with our guidance. 2 months ago she asked us to take her every 15-30 minutes and didn’t urinate when we took her. No UTI. So we just started taking her once an hour. Now she’s wetting before we take her. She’s wearing Sams “Member” Maximum protection. Any suggestions on the best underpants? Dr said her memory is the age of an 8th grader, that’s pretty good.
After she pees, have her lean forward (while still seated on the toilet) which will help the bladder empty more completely. There is medication that will help her empty her bladder if that seems to be the problem.
My aunt uses depends with an overnight poise pad inserted. It works pretty well for her.
Also. sit on the toilet for a long time because if her bladder isn’t completely empty she will have to go five minutes later.
Can I recommend that you try every 45 minutes and see if that helps her not have so many accidents.
Is someone prompting her when she is on the toilet? I would try that and change the frequency of trips by 5 minute intervals until I found the perfect timing.
