Spot on. Instruggled to get my father into a nursing home. He had home care and the nurses couldnt get him to shower and he refused to change clothes, accused them of stealing, threatened suicide, so we put him in respite care until the docgors signed him off as lacking capacity. We went in to prepare his unit (apartment) for sale. It smelled of urine. I found a bucket hidden under a box full of urine, when inopened his wardrobe all his clothes were mouldy including shoes, he had been peeing in there. When we moved the couch he was lifting a cushion and peeing in a hole in the fabric. We basically threw everything away and got special cleaners in to do a forensic clean. We didnt get onto this sooner because Victoria was in lock down through covid and we wernt allowed into the State. Utter discgrace
Wow! My dad's bedroom is so stinky even though I try to keep it clean most days! My knee and rib don't like that though. I do what I can. I was putting clean sheets on this morning and found a totally soaked with urine bed pad behind his bed. I didn't clean back there. I sprayed it with Resolve urine cleaner. I'll attempt that another day! Seems like most days are spent cleaning some kind of his mess! Hoping to get my dad in a memory care home within the month! Not sure we can handle everything much longer! Thank God he goes to Day Care on the week days!
When I stayed with my dad last year, found out that 2 out of bathrooms were totally disgusting! I cleaned them as much as possible. We were having thanksgiving there. I wanted it to look and smell nice!
What about when everyone else is sleeping?
