She does have Alzheimer's so I really need plastice sheetsIt's hard to work with her on this, she's pretty much lost controland takes off the depends at night while she sleeps and just goes.I do her sheets twice a day, the hospital pads dont cover every inch of her mattress though I try; they move and then and urine seeps thru.Can somebody guide me to where i can buy fitted plastice or old fashioned rubber sheets for a full size bed?
If you can't find a better solution, you can use a plastic shower curtain as a rubber sheet. They are pretty large and can cover enough of the bed to be a solution. I think they're cheaper than special sheets.
you can get the kind that go alround the bed at walmart with a zipper on them but your still going to want to put a regular sheet over them to make them more comfortable because in the winter they will be cold and in the summer they will hot and itchy..i got them for my kids both were bed wetters
If Social Services are involved, they should be helping out with this sort of thing. If not, why don't you contact them? Most of the carers working for and through the Social Services are kind, helpful and honest. They will also do the messy jobs for your mother and can arrange for 'respite care' to give you a break every now and then. I've just thought, you may not be British, in which case none of the above will apply, sorry
Look around on the internet for special need stores. Or maybe her Doctor can recommend something. Im sorry to hear about the alzheimers, my grandpa had it. I never meat him, he died before I was born. I'll keep you and your mom in my prayers.
I okorder / among others. I'd guess any sort of medical supply company would carry these. There are also special mattresses you can buy that have a coating of plastic on top of them.
