My husband,91, vascular dementia for 5 years, has till now been able to get himself up during the night to go to the toilet, even to do a poo. Occasionally some mornings I now find a puddle near the toilet where he has misfired. If I make him wear pads he will have a greater struggle if he tries to remove them in the middle of the night. Apart from this, he is still quite aware and still keeps his pride so I think it would upset him if I suggested this. So I make no comment and secretly mop up his puddles.
Does anybody know the best way to deal with this. Do I let him go on (I don't mind the mopping up) or is the next step where he wets the bed .
