I am caring for my mother who is is almost 93. She is incontinent. She wears depends and a super absorbant pad at night, but still every morning her bed is still soaked.
I am sure that there is some solution to this problem from others that may have had to deal with this. A nursing home is not an option. But it is frustrating to have to do laundry every day.

Do a search for "incontinence bed pads" and lot so links will come up, this is one that I have found: http://nwmedicalsolutions.com/cat_disposable.cfm
They do make life a lot easier, don't ask me how I know.

You definately can buy rubberized incontinence sheets (various sizes) from a hospital supply store. We had them for my father and they were about $25 each in Canada but we only needed three, one on the bed, on in the wash and a spare. My mother also used a pessary inserted by her doctor that helped keep her bladder in place and stopped leaking. In addition to the small waterproof sheets we also had a waterproof mattress cover that saved us from many disasters.
