My sister Lynne moved in with me last week. She'll be 60 years old in a week. She's been living on her own and held a full time job for 36 years. Apparently my parents were not paying too much attention to her lifestyle. She's not retarded but a little bit slow and has verbal aphasia.
When I went to do the laundry I noticed every last one of her panties are stained with poop. Big time stains. Thankfully, I've never noticed any bad smells coming from her probably because she showers every night.
Can someone help me and give me some ideas and advice on how to teach her to wipe her butt properly?
At 60 years old, does she have any aches and pains in the shoulder/arm area where it could make it difficult for her to "reach" her bottom?
Freqflyer, she's always done her own laundry and apparently 'skid marks' is the norm. I don't think she has aches or pains in her shoulders but she is bordering on obese ... something I hope to change as I slowly change her diet which is horrifying - almost all processed food.
Ilovemom, I've considered moist/baby wipes. I think I'll definitely get some and tell her to use those after she finishes using the toilet paper.
Cwillie, I already decided to get her some panty liners and see if that helps but I'll certainly have to impress on her that the liners and wipes don't go down the toilet.
