My mum has Alzheimer’s and increasingly has problems keeping herself clean after using the toilet. My Dad is 90 years old and is struggling a bit with the hygiene problems and is thinking of replacing her toilet with a bidet, or perhaps a standard toilet with a bidet style lid - ideally with a warm water jet and a drier. Has anyone been down this road already for a similar cared for person and any useful advice or recommendations ? Thanks.
I don’t want to pee on your parade, but the problem with Alzheimers/ Dementia is that no sooner do you conjure a solution to a problem, than the problem will change, or the person with the problem will unwittingly (or purposely - who knows? ) find another way to confound you.
My wife had access to a toilet that also did the washing and drying when we were on holiday this year, it didn’t work well in conjunction with a commode placed over the toilet, there was a skirt below the hole in the commode which prevented both the water and warm air from reaching the necessary parts in sufficient quantities to be effective, I just wiped her bum as normal.
