[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just like a daycare, it is because they are not changing the residents often enough and keeping things cleaned up. If you don't clean up urine, feces and vomit well enough, the furniture and carpets reek. [/quote] Right. It's a matter of cleaning. My dad was incontinent the last two years of his life, and my parents' home never smelled. We (Dad when he was able, Mom and I) changed the briefs regularly, disposed of them promptly, and washed/wiped surfaces that had contact with bodily fluids-we also used disposable chux where he sat regularly. In the last month of life, he was in one facility that stunk (I did not choose this place and moved him in 3 days) and one that was clean and did not smell at all. Care there was much better.[/quote]
