I am sure that this has been discussed here before, but does anyone know a trick to keep the incontinent drawers on a woman who gets up at night and hides them in the back of her closet?  SignatureLesanne Just an idea off the top of my head....Fasten the closet doors closed. (they tie the closet door handles with a grocery bag at my MILs when needed-back when she kept changing her clothes. They'd let her during the day, but fastened it at night).If they're sliding doors, maybe a fastener up high would work. Of course, she'll find another spot-but maybe you could prepare it somewhat if you knew how her thinking goes. Beth Yes, that is an idea. It locks that door does. But that was not really where I was going, I would like to know a way to keep the things on her so I don't have so much washing of bedding going on. Somehow last night she not only got the sheets (there is a pad under those) but the bedding that should have been on top of her, blanket and top sheet. Go figure. I guess she got up, took off the clothes, lay back down on top of the bedding and let er rip :) SignatureLESLIE ARNIM > Just an idea off the top of my head....Fasten the closet doors closed. > (they tie the closet door handles with a grocery bag at my MILs when [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Beth > Yes, that is an idea.

SignatureRegards, Evelyn (to reply to me personally, remove 'sox") wonder where one could get one of these? I shall search SignatureLesanne >> >>> I am sure that this has been discussed here before, but does anyone know [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > in nursing homes where certain patients have problems with toileting or > undressing at inappropriate times. lesanne, i believe there was a website provided by mary gordon from a place called "silverts" that had the jumpsuit type pajama. not certain. you could also try "the alzheimers store" that has a catalog. pricey, but with some helpful products.

I just looked on Silvert's and they carry an anti-strip jump suit (go under Alzheimer's, women's, sportswear and you'll see it). However, not sure how it would do as a pyjama for night wear. Its meant for those rare persons who have a complusion to inappropriately strip...which must be waaaay fun for a caregiver to deal with (can you imagine Mr. Smith from up the block hanging out naked on his sun porch?). http://www.silverts.com Silverts is always worth a look. They are very reputable and handy. I bought lots of stuff for my MIL there, since they had the kind of clothing you really need for someone who is elderly and incontinent or disabled - things you just can't get anywhere (like washable comfy loose dresses with a zipper up the front and big pockets etc. ) Mary G. . Oh goodie, a link before I even look :). And Mom Does Take her clothes off on occasion, for whatever. Once in a restaurant, I turned away and then back and she had her blouse half off.

Lesanne, I see you're posting using Internet Explorer. Could you try to find a way to avoid your test being limited to one looooong line that doesn't flow onto the next.
