what I did with my mom was every 2 hours or so I just had her use the bathroom and then I made her get up by 9 and walk immediately to the bathroom because she was relying on depends at night but sometimes that wasn't even enough. Keeping them on a schedule is crucial.

Don’t know if incontinence at night is normal, but my husband has had vascular dementia for 6 years and I’ve decided after going to all kinds of Drs that he just doesn’t know when he has to go. It’s a 24 hr thing, and by the time he decided he has to go it’s too late. I just deal with it and go one.
Sleeping a lot during day is also normal around here.

Gabe, I feel for you. I can't imagine having to take care of a man. I'm maybe 5'3" so it would be so much more physical. If your husband walks, just take him in the bathroom several times a day. My mom always says she doesn't need to go, but most of the times she really did.

Jamie my husband also has incontinence. The whole house smells bad. Even our cat tells me off. I wonder how much$ stock prices cdx are for airwick and pads. I I've never been bright about stock markets feels like gambling to me. My husband was a heavy gambler and not good at it. Lost many many times everything. Not funny the urinary incontinence and now bowel too.

Must be. That is we are at currently with my dad. He has been in diapers around the clock for several months now. He unfortunately takes his diaper off now and uses the bed as a toilet.
