What to do if he can't find the bathroom??

[Guest guest]

At night my dad will wake up and can't find the bathroom that is in his

bedroom. He will pee

in the closet or go in the living room and pee on a chair. I asked his

caregiver if he should

wear Depends diapers, but she said that it doesn't work because he pulls them

down, like he

would his underwear, to pee. Last night he was in one of the other residents

closets looking

for the bathroom, luckily the nighttime caregiver caught him before any damage

was done.

During the day it's not a problem, because the caregivers will direct him to the

bathroom.

Between the wandering at night and now this problem, I don't know what to do.

Any ideas???

Rhonda,

Do they have an alarm bed for your dad to sleep in? at

least if they were aware he was up, before he could

get too far maybe they would have a better chance of

redirecting him.
