Using the bathroom may seem simple, but for someone with dementia it can be incredibly complex.

Helping someone with dementia manage toileting and incontinence isn’t just about products, it’s about the environment. Small changes can make a huge difference in safety and independence. Simple steps like leaving the bathroom door open, keeping the lights on, adding clear signs, or removing clutter can reduce confusion. Tools like bed rails, walkers, toilet rails, and motion-sensing lights can support mobility and safety. Even labeling the toilet or setting out incontinence products where they

What do you do when someone with dementia flushes their incontinence products and clogs the toilet? This is a common issue, and it usually happens for three reasons: lack of experience using incontinence products, embarrassment about accidents, or confusion about what to do.
