How To Change Diapers for The Incontinent Elderly?

It's a task that requires care and respect. Here’s how you can do it comfortably:

1. Preparation: Have all supplies ready—clean diaper, gloves, wipes, and any skin-care products.

2. Positioning: Lay the person on their back. Roll them gently to their side.

3. Removal: Unfasten the soiled diaper, rolling it inward to contain the mess. Clean the genital area thoroughly with wipes.

4. Skin Care: Apply any necessary barrier creams or ointments to protect the skin.

5. New Diaper: Slide the new diaper under, rolling them gently back onto their back to secure it.

6. Fastening: Ensure the diaper is snug but not too tight. Check for comfort and correct positioning.

Always be gentle and maintain their dignity throughout the process.
