• Dear Judy,

    My Dad has Alzheimer’s — he’s made a lot of bathroom “mistakes” — missing the toilet when he has to urinate, and not using his pee jub.

    Any advice?

    Lowell

    Dear Lowell,

    At a certain point, a lot of the elder with the problem you describe use what’s delicately known in the business as “continence products” — ie Depends and all its cousins, available at any drugstore.

    They save the wearer a lot of embarrassment — and of course hygiene issues.

    Thanks for writing

    Judy
