I may have to change them frequently, but that's better than changing the whole bed. So far I have not had to clean urine from the carpet. I put a chair mat (for office chairs) under her bedside commode. It catches any "misses" there. Thanks for the feedback. Hi Betty, I found reusable under pads to be a great help too.

This helps me alot, when she's incontinent. I *hate* having to blot up urine from the carpet. If I do, then I put the cat enzyme cleaner on the spot immediately. It definitely helps to remove the smell!!! With Mom, I put one mattress pad under her fitted sheet and 2 parallel ontop. This helps me alot, when she’s incontinent.

You know I don't even remember who the person was that hurt my feelings when I was complaining about filling up the birdfeeder and saying surely to goodness someone else could manage that task. I learned from those "helpful" comments to direct frustrations regarding my mother to those closest to me or other caregivers. And you are so right - it just is what it is! Judy.
