She lives with her daughter a retired RN whose house is immaculate at all times and does not smell of urine, ever. Her mom uses Purewick at night and only rarely has it malfunctioned resulting in bed wetting. Thanks to chucks and waterproof mattress pads none of the furniture ever gets saturated when accidents happen. During the day she is in pads on a chair with chucks and uses a commode for toileting because she can stand and transfer.
It can be done but in a home setting an immobile adult needs 24/7 caregivers available to assist for optimal results.
