They're an overnight brand designed to cut down on the number of changes per day. A pack lasts me a week. I explained this to two staff members. They seemed to understand. However, just now, I got a call saying they only had enough diapers for one more day. The caller said they HAD to check and change every 2 hours. Good grief! Do they do that around the clock? That's 12 diapers a day if they do. Dad dribbles constantly, so he's always "wet." But I changed once every 12 hours or so, and dad never got a rash.
I almost wonder if I should write his name on every diaper. I'm trying to think how many were in each pack. It just seems weird for them to be gone. I would've gotten cheaper ones, if I had known.
I'd suggest switching to a more appropriate day time type. The most popular with gentlemen seem to be the ones that fit into elasticated mesh underpants - most of the major brands do them, I think.
I did not have this problem in Moms AL. I knew how long a pack of 30 Depends lasted. There was a cabinet over the toilet with a shelf. I used to put depends on the shelf for convenience. I get a call from an aide telling me Mom was out of diapers. I told her to look in the closet. (No sink cabinet because of wheelchair access) I call that lazy. Would be the first place I looked.
Your father is getting his position changed, this helps prevent pressure sores.
It hopefully prevents someone from sitting or laying in a soiled brief for extended periods of time.
Get the least expensive ones you can as they will toss out many that have not been soiled. AND they WILL get used on other residents. Even if you put your dad's name on each and every one of them they will get used for another resident. There will be some family members that will "forget" to bring them in when they are needed.
