Medicaid provides incontinence supplies (at least in this state). Contact your case worker to learn how to order them. Typically you are given a contact point, order on the phone, and they are delivered to your door.
If the person who needs them has Alzheimers or Dementia they might already qualify for hospice and if they do, these supplies are free from hospice. Alz and dementia patients can often qualify for hospice much sooner than those with other illnesses.
I've been getting them at Walmart for my dad, not too pricey. But I will check Costco this weekend to buy in bulk. He likes the pull ups. Calls them his emergency pants.
Cheryl, check out your local Senior Center gift shop. Often people donate packages of adult diapers to these types of places, if they were previously in the caregiving or Hospice carer role, and their loved one has passed away, leaving them with excess supplies.
I know that I have a bunch of packs that I intend on donating, but haven't gotten around to it yet, following the car of my FIL on Hospice, and he passed away last September. I'm STILL uncomfortable entering the room where he passed away!
I often but my blue chuck pads at our local SC gift shop, to use for my dog as wee-wee pads near our back door at nighttime.
My mom has Medicare and Medicaid but on a fixed income and expenses for me to get the pull ups and diapers, pads and wipes I live in Louisiana any advice would be appreciated
I think Medicare only pays for Depends is when ur on Hospice. Call a visiting nurse assoc. and see if they get diapers donated. They may give you some. I also bought pull ups from Walgreens using their Surenity brand. Like said, they have buy one get the second 50 % off sales. They also have a monthly booklet where they may offer a $5 coupon for a bag.

Our senior center does not have a gift shop. What a great idea!
