Husband (61) has dementia and Parkinson's. He started 3 weeks ago going to the bathroom wherever. Any suggestions?

He has been in diapers for a long time. He is a big man and I am looking for Coveralls on the advice of his nursing home. I tried Sears they only go up to 2x. I purchased thermal one piece online still waiting over a week for it to arrive . Does anyone have any other suggestions then coveralls. They are taking him to the bathroom constantly and that doesn't make any difference. I would appreciate any suggestions or support. He has been in a nursing home for almost 4 1/2 years

I'm not sure what the overalls are supposed to accomplish, unless you are talking about anti strip clothing or underwear? This is a specialty item that you are not going to find at a normal retailer, as geewiz says you need to look for adaptive clothing... several on the site have recommended buck & buck fro reasonable prices and good quality... (look for back zip jumpsuits)

I hope the one you are waiting for works well! Once you've tried that you'll know if you should order more or look for something a little different. As geewiz says, look up sources of "adaptive clothing."

Can the nursing home give you any suggestions for sources? Surely they've dealt with this many times.

Try an adaptive clothing website. Different styles to accomplish different things. Do a computer search with this term.
