Getting to the Bathroom On Time

At some point, your loved one may have incontinence issues. Of course, there are over the counter products you might want to consider using. Here are a few other suggestions:

• Watch for signs that your loved one needs to go to the bathroom, such as unusual pacing or fidgeting. Alzheimer's disease can affect your loved one's ability to remember where the bathroom is and how to get there.
• Ask your loved one if he or she needs to use the restroom several times during the day.
• Post a sign on the Bathroom Door that says "Bathroom."
• Consider getting a bedside commode to prevent night time accidents.
