[quote=Anonymous]OP, it's a bad situation all around. If she can't get up by herself and she is peeing at night several times, then she is lying in the wet diaper all night. This is pretty much status quo in most nursing homes. They simply don't have the staff to get up with people all night, or change diapers all night. Given that, can you afford night help for the 3 months? But beware, she will become dependent on the help and won't want to give it up. But if you're desperate and sure she will get better and go home, then do what you have the ability to do. Also, the day vs night peeing thing I think is the nerve issue. When awake she can better control it, even without realizing she's controlling it. I'm curious what the RN PP thinks about all this.[/quote]
