I am caring for my mother who is is almost 93. She is incontinent. She wears depends and a super absorbant pad at night, but still every morning her bed is still soaked.
I am sure that there is some solution to this problem from others that may have had to deal with this. A nursing home is not an option. But it is frustrating to have to do laundry every day. |
Did you talk to her Dr about the meds available? I am not sure if this would help but maybe a waterproof pad under her or something like that.

Do a search for "incontinence bed pads" and lot so links will come up, this is one that I have found: http://nwmedicalsolutions.com/cat_disposable.cfm
They do make life a lot easier, don't ask me how I know. |
What about the pads they use to housebreak dogs and puppies? They are specially made to soak up liquid and not allow it to pass thru.

If you have a med supply store in your area, they probably sell those leak proof bed pads used in hospitals.

I bought pads to put under the sheets for a senior from Sears. Have you tried looking in the catalogue for them?

Hospitals and I know special drug stores have these blue things they look like 24 in x 24 in. thsoe are suppose to be waterproof along with waterproof mattress pads. This ia what I used for my mom.

You definately can buy rubberized incontinence sheets (various sizes) from a hospital supply store. We had them for my father and they were about $25 each in Canada but we only needed three, one on the bed, on in the wash and a spare. My mother also used a pessary inserted by her doctor that helped keep her bladder in place and stopped leaking. In addition to the small waterproof sheets we also had a waterproof mattress cover that saved us from many disasters.
