I purchased a STELLA stand (a moving stand up stand) for Jamie with he could no longer walk. It was the smartest purchase I ever made because I could move him from the bed to the commode, to the shower, to the wheelchair and finally to his very comfortable Lazy Boy recliner. Because the STELLA stand relieved pressure on Jamie's back end whenever I stood him up, he never suffered from bed sores even though his nutrition was inadequate toward the end. I made sure that I moved him to the toilet when he got up in the morning, after each meal and one time between meals. That schedule was enough to keep him continent. In excellent nursing homes, that same technique is used. --------- Mary Ann www.bentwillowfarm.org > Mary Ann, I'm curious what you mean when you refer to a toileting program. > My dad is starting to have issues with incontinence and it would be great > for all of us if we could steer him back, to whatever extent we can. > > Thanks! > > Carrie > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
