It's a real fight to get my wife to change her wet pants and underwear (diaper). It's taken as long as 1.5 hours to do it. But once I can get the underwear on it goes smoothly. The nurse has an easier time of dog it but it still takes longer than needed.
The nurse says that the caretaker often has a harder time of changing the person with dementia..
