I am writing for my mother about my father. He has lewy bod
I am writing for my mother about my father. He has lewy body disease and is 74 years old. He needs assistance walking, eating and using the bathroom. He does wear adult diapers. He gets up frequently at night to urinate. He wears a nighttime pad and underwear but he is constantly taking it off and picking at the diaper. This causes a mess for my mom to clean up and she is constantly doing laundry as he soaks the sheets, blankets, etc. I realize it is partly the disease that makes him do this but what can my mom do to cope with this? She is constantly getting up in the middle of the night to deal with my dad. A lot of times he is out of it and doesn't even remember picking at the diaper and tearing it off. Help! Thanks.
