Hi to everyone,
Mum 93 was put on the end of life care plan yesterday. My sister and I share her care and we've decided to try and keep her at home for her final days. She's very frail and has chronic kidney disease and COPD. She no longer recognises the need to go to the toilet so is soiling the bed all the time; she can't support herself to get out of bed onto a commode so my sister and I have to physically lift her. It's an awful strain on us, and I'm also frightened of hurting her.
Is anyone else managing double incontinence? What sort of extra help might be available?
Thanks all
