What to do when they won't move

What can we do, or who can we contact, when our person won't move, not even to use the restroom?

We went to the ER a few days ago when my husband complained of pain and could not get out of bed. Once at the hospital, he didn't have any more pain, so they sent us home.

Today, he's on the couch and wants a cup to pee in instead of walking to the restroom.

Does anyone help with this?

    If you're in the US, it might be time for a hospice assessment.
