When I was the Executive Director at the Assisted Living Residence we dealt with incontienence on a daily basis. About 80% of the residents needed assistance with toileting and going to the bathroom.
Many residents found this to be embarassing and as a loss of their independance. Many times we would have to talk with the resident because they would not realize that there was a problem.
The good thing is they now offer tranquility diapers which do a great job and can be delievered privately to the loved ones house or apartment. That way they can get what they need without having to purchase them in the store or in front of their peers.
