My mom has to have knee replacement as soon as possible. I help her with my dad has stage is he has to have someone with him at all times. He has to wear a diaper
I have no problem with my dad. But I don't want to see my dad naked. He knows who I am & I think he feels the same way. He will change his shirt shoes & socks for me. But not his pants. Mom will be in hospital for a couple of days. The thought of him being wet & not clean is worry me. We nurses but I don't think they will come but… read more

Well this was a fun one but basically dad uses a towel to cover up. He has to wash his area and I help with the rest. When dressing comes AND he's unable to do it alone and none else is there I assemble everything at my level (floor) and just concentrate on the task at hand. I have him help if hee can otherwise I close my eyes. YES it can be done. Good luck

Thank you it did all work out. When we were all done nice clean clothes. He said my daughter come by & stays with me alot & she should be here. I'm glad he didn't know it was me r he blocked me out of his mind for that time

You say he is able to dress himself? Does he wear pull ups? Periodic reminders might help. Or. As a CNA I had a patient who was very modest for religious reasons. I was hid bath lady. When it came to bathing, he was a bed bath. I would cover him with a towel. I gave him the wash cloth so he could wash his own private parts. If he is able to get his pants down, put a towel across his lap. Hold the towel in front of him as he pulls his pants and have him sit. Cover lap with towel. Help him get his under pants and clothes on and back on and then hod the towel up again, look away and have him stand to pull pants up. At some point he will realize that its routine and you both are trying to keep his dignity. Im not looking forward to the day when my dad will need a that kind of help. My dad certainly will be difficult. I will have to go back to using my skills with him and eventually I hope he will get used to my help at some point. Hope this made sense and helps you

As much as you can cover his private swith a towel. Sometimes this will be hard to make happen, but you will learn to work around it.
