Items we found useful
M5M was looking for a thread that had a list of things we found useful during this caregiving experience, but couldn't find it. Neither could I. Let's make a new list for people to easily find.
Things I can initially think of: (Please add to the list)
High quality incontinence products. Parentgiving.com has some.
Specialized clothing for PWD. Buckandbuck.com has some.
Enough extra bedding to layer the bed.
Walk in shower.
Double stick carpet tape to put on edges of area rugs.
TheracranOne cranberry supplement for UTIs.
Bed alarm to notify you when they get out of bed.
Instant Pot or Crock Pot for easier meals.
Bidet to help with UTI problems.
