George is getting worse. Last night he needed to change 3 times but luckily did not wet or soil anything but his clothes and the continence pad. He then just takes wet stuff off and drops them and puts clean ones on. I have rung the Continence clinic this morning and talked to them about the problems. We are now trying full continence pants but it may be a struggle to keep them on.
He is not able to get any food for himself (this has been for a long time) and often shadows me. Those with Alzheimer's want attention when they want it and do not realise you may also have other things to do. We are coping at the moment but the reality is that I may not be able to soon. When he goes into a home that will cost me 50000 a year which is quite substantial.
He loves to socialise and is quite happy to have someone chatting to him all the time....
