Hello
This is my first post as I have just discovered the site. My wife who is in the middle stages of Alzheimer's is becoming increasingly incontinent. The problem is not too bad if I remember to prompt her to visit the toilet, however if I forget she invariably wets herself. The other problem is that she absolutely refuses to wear pads or incontinence pants, when I have managed to get her to put some on, she takes them off again at the first opportunity. I have discussed this with the CPN and at the support group for carers run by our local branch of the Society, but haven't yet found a satisfactory solution. Has anyone else come across the same problem, and what if anything is the answer. Thank you
