Adaptive clothing w/stoma

Hello. Has anyone seen adaptive clothing that has the ability to access a stoma bag for changing and emptying? My father is late stage Alzheimer’s and also has a stoma bag. It’s been very difficult managing both but having him wear a one-piece outfit that has a zippered or buttoned option in the front to access the bag as well would be great. Thanks so much.

Could you give a little more clarity on the reason for the adaptive clothing other than the stoma access so I can better understand his needs? Does he not want anything around his waistline? Is he taking his clothes off?0

Potentially silly question, but why is he wearing a one-piece?
Just brainstorming, it would have to be a onesie pajama that can be slipped into through the neck hole, but with an enlarged and extended back flap (like long johns) -- some DIY fans have made "Hooded Dropseat Footed Onesie Pajamas".

Electra, if you don't find what you are looking for, you can probably take something to a seamstress to have a zipper put where you need it.0
