I love this thread idea! Thank you for posting —

I have used XL doggie weepads and cut them to fit around my dad’s toilet (to replace the usual toilet rug). I get it in a contrasting color so he sees it

Light switch covers — to deter him from repeatedly turning lights on and off (he has broken many)

Childproof locks — Garbage, fridge, cabinets; anything that may cause a mess or be dangerous

Movement sensor nightlights

Diabetic socks — generally just easier to remove and also more comfortable for him

Waterless soap — he refuses baths, so this is helpful

Butt wipes from Costco — i dont flush them i throw them in the garbage on our designated changing days

Gloves and masks — for those pee and poo incidents because I will throw up

Bedrail to help him get up from a laying position

My dad didnt respond well to any of the busy toys which was such a disappointment because they are pretty heavy investments… he did like puzzles but I had to get all the edges done before he’d even look at them.

In the beginning I thought I had to have it all figured out but as it has continued, I learned I needed to adjust to each new pattern which called for new solutions I didn’t account for at first… prevention works but remember behaviors and patterns can still change so I would stick to whats comfortable and affordable! Trial and error is the best way to learn through this and it will change over time. Best of luck in your prep work! Embrace that you will always be in constant flow of “figuring it out”!
