Ivy g my husband has dimentia and is in a nursing home and I have questions about his care, right now about toileting.how long must he wait to be attended? He is in long term care and requires a hoist and lift now whereas previously he could be taken with assistance. His only complaint has been being toileted, particularly at mealtime. What is the normal procedure?

Hello @Miss muffet and welcome to the forum
Im afraid I cant help with your query because by the time my MIL needed hoisting she was doubly incontinent, but Im sure someone from our friendly and knowledgeable community will be able to help

Welcome @Miss muffet
I think many care homes toilet residents before and/or after mealtimes as a routine.
If your husband feels the need to visit the toilet more frequently, perhaps a word with the manager of the home would be the best bet.
