My mom has just started to use depends but it seems that she cannot figure on how to sit on the toilet any more. She has gone on the floor, waste basket, etc. What do u do when she can't figure how to use the toilet or forget where it is? And she refuses to use depends? This just started. What's happening?:(
My sister in law once said to me when I was late toilet training my children that eventually they will do it themselves. Yes thats true but does not apply to a demented elder.
There is no light at the end of the tunnel for caregivers, you just have to bring your own flashlight!
So very sad that it is ending like this! Do everything you can to help Mom keep some dignity and to know that you love her no matter what.
