how do you handle public rest room situations?  my parents are in their 70s.
mom is  dad's caregiver.  he is mobile, but not always capable of doing the
whole rest room thing by himself.  sometimes it's just physcially dealing with
clothes, etc.  other times it's more of the confusion issue (sit's down with
his undershorts still on to go to the bathroom, not always sure which way to
face, etc.)

she's uncomfortable taking him into the men's rest room. and she worries about
him being uncomfortable going into the ladies room.  therefore, this is just
one more reason they are avoiding a lot of extended "out of the house"
activities.

i'm interested in hearing how others handle this situation.  any advice will
be greatly appreciated.  thanks.
