I could definitely use some guidance on how I might tackle an especially awkward problem, concerning toilet etiquette. The 70-year-old woman I care for (and live with) has an ongoing problem remembering how to manage No2. At first it was not remembering to flush, but frequently she manages to get exrement on the hand towel and often puts the used toilet tissue into the bin instead of down the loo. What exactly is going on I can't say, but knowing her failure to use dish soap when washing up cups or plates, I imagine she is wiping with difficulty and failing to wash her hands properly, getting poo on the towel, or on one occasion using the towel as if it were toilet paper.
What have I tried to do? I've installed a new toilet roll holder and a new towel ring, as far apart as possible; I bought one of those bathroom etiquette plaques and put it in the bathroom, and I've finally drawn her attention to the mess and tried to remind her of the proper sequence, the latter humiliating for both of us. But what can be done? It is unacceptable behaviour. Any guidance, please?
