Is there service for incontinent patients where you can call and have them come to your home to clean up the patient, pretty much at a minutes' notice?

There's a new career idea for someone, they could call themselves the Poop Patrol ROFL
(I don't mean to offend, I think a lot of us dream of such a service LOL)

pegtracy123, even if your Dad was living in Assisted Living, he probably would need to wait awhile before an Aide is available to help him out, especially at night. And depending on the triage with the other residents.

The only way is to have Aids in the house with your Dad all day and night, every day.

That would be amazing but really impractical. No one could just drop everything to go clean someone up. The only way that could occur is with a live-in caregiver who is paid or if you can afford to pay for 24-hour home health aides.

Similar to the Geek Squad. Poop Squad?

Seriously? If you can't handle it, so to speak, consider another caregiver or other living arrangenent.

Seriously? Yes, seriously! I've been taking care of my parents for many years and have enabled them to stay home instead of going into one of the horrible nursing homes. The fact that I have a hard time cleaning up my father's bowel incontinence issues is not unheard and certainly understandable in my mind. Just because I have a problem with this one issue does NOT mean I should "consider another caregiver or other living arrangement." You really should think before you speak vegaslady!

Expecting on demand service is unrealistic. And not just for cleaning up your dad. Same goes for a housekeeper, car driver, meal cooker, etc. Your dad has a chronic problem that needs daily attention. How many times a day is he in need of being cleaned up?

Peg, everybody has a problem with cleaning up after their parents bowel problems, I can't tell you it will get easy but you really can learn to turn down the ick reflex and just soldier on. Of course I imagine cleaning up my mother is a whole lot easier than if it had been my dad, but then I never thought I would ever care for her in that way either. Thank goodness for disposable gloves, wipes and paper towels, and disposable underwear as well. Back in the early 70's my grandmother had none of those things when she had to look after my grandfather!

I know they won't handle a major blow out, but the bidet toilet seats might be a good option for you/him. Or the hand held bidet sprayers might also help if he can still do a little self care?

Oh, and if you can figure out the times when he usually has a bowel movement you can put him on the toilet around that time and hopefully avoid a messy diaper.
