[quote=Anonymous] For the bed, be sure to have a plastic layer mattress pad so nothing wets the actual mattress. To possibly reduce having to change the entire bedding, get some infant/toddler waterproof bed pads. Also be sure to have such a waterproof pad on any chair your relative may use. I would also try and keep a record of how much liquid she intakes to share with her doctor and the foods suggested are very good. For your relationship with your elderly relative, I would second getting a home health aide in to do the personal care two times a week, including the hair washing. It will give you a break with all you are doing and also take a way a more contentious time. If the money can be found do it!! If your relative can go out at all, would she enjoy going to a hair dresser at some point to get her hair done and cut, too? A smaller, setting might be nice when weather turns ice.[/quote]
