On the plus side, the cat litter also clumps up and I can scoop out the mess without having to change it every day. Sounds stupid, but it works for us.

Hi, We have a disabled adult with vision problems and he cannot hit the toilet 1 out of 10 times. I finally found that cat litter around the toilet (layer of paper towel, then aluminum foil filled with cat litter) gets almost all of of the mess. For the walls, try clear contact paper. It wipes clean. I know everyone says to have them sit, but that does not work for us...like you, the mess just comes out the front and then I have him stepping in it.

My dad , age 97, just pasted away...i just kept a chlorox spray , paper towels and glvoes nearby...didn't have the heart to tell him...Their self worth and self esteem is already fragile...i just loved him thru it and asked God to help me with my attitude.
So happy i never burdened him with telling him....i just worked on my attitude remembering why i loved him , and remembering all the wonderful years he
was there for me...Yes, they are bascially toddlers again...i miss him so...

I still work so I'm not always around but I caught him once sitting with it not down. Can you go in there and watch and check like you would potty training a child. After all they are a man child at this point. Hope this helps. I know it difficult.

My husband stroke victim/ mild dementia misses too. He sometimes waits too long when urge comes and it starts before he sits down. When he first came home from hospital he would sit with his penis not down so all over the floor. But I got him to watch that it's in the toilet. Now I have told him don't wait till urge comes and visit bathroom more often. Sometimes he stands and dribbles of urine here and there but not as bad as your experience. I just accepted I have to clean the bathroom more often. I keep Clorox wipes next to toilet. Sometimes I need a rag and Clorox spray. Just accept it. It's part of growing old. And when my 4 yr old grandson visits I need to wipe rim of toilet.

Men have been missing toilets ever since they were invented. I have been dealing with splashback and overspray for 44 years. Keep a mop handy.
