That's a thoughtful question! While there isn't specific feedback from myALZteam members about toilet handrails and bidet combos, many members do share helpful tips about making toileting easier and safer for loved ones with Alzheimer's.
Here are some bathroom safety products that myALZteam members and experts recommend:
- Grab bars installed near the toilet for stability
- Raised toilet seats to make sitting and standing easier
- Bedside commodes for nighttime use
- Motion-activated night lights to help with navigation at night
- Wet wipes for easier cleanup A bidet can be a great addition since it reduces the need for complex wiping motions, which can be challenging for someone with Alzheimer's. However, it's worth checking with her doctor first to make sure it's a good fit for her specific needs and stage of Alzheimer's.
Also, keep the bathroom as clutter-free as possible and make sure the toilet is easy to find — leaving the door open or placing a picture of a toilet on the door can really help!
