My mother is bed wetting; where can I get plastic sheets the waterproof mattress pad & depends r not working? |
She does have Alzheimer's so I really need plastice sheets I just searched for "rubber sheets" and got http://www.bentonmedical.com/sheets.html among others. I'd guess any sort of medical supply company would carry these. There are also special mattresses you can buy that have a coating of plastic on top of them. Sears Look around on the internet for special need stores. Or maybe her Doctor can recommend something. Bed bath & Beyond will most likely have them...call first if they are not close. try a specialty drug store, they sell just about everything needed to care for ill people. also try aq kids specialty store, they carry sheets that pull over the whole bed like a bag and then zip shut. If Social Services are involved, they should be helping out with this sort of thing. If not, why don't you contact them? Most of the carers working for and through the Social Services are kind, helpful and honest. They will also do the messy jobs for your mother and can arrange for 'respite care' to give you a break every now and then. Any department store should have them in the bedding section- Try Wal-Mart. your doctor or health visitor should be able to help you with these . you can get the kind that go alround the bed at walmart with a zipper on them but your still going to want to put a regular sheet over them to make them more comfortable because in the winter they will be cold and in the summer they will hot and itchy..i got them for my kids both were bed wetters If you can't find a better solution, you can use a plastic shower curtain as a rubber sheet. They are pretty large and can cover enough of the bed to be a solution. I think they're cheaper than special sheets. Call or go to a hospital supply store and they'll be able to set you up. |
