My mother-in-law (88) wears Depends 24/7, resulting in a continuous UTI. Any advice?

Suffers from advanced dementia. Her PCP has treated her for a UTI several times in the last 1+year at my insistence, but now refuses to prescribe any meds to treat the UTI. Is there a natural or homeopathic method I could try to treat the UTI?

Are the Depends being changed immediately when wet? Is she in a care center or at home? Why does the doctor refuse to treat her at this point? Would hospice be appropriate?
