I agree that a neurologist is an essential member/head of your LO's treatment team once a diagnosis of Alzheimer's has been established. Some specialists diagnose but don't treat Alzheimer's. Look… read more

What Are The Best Adult Pampers?

A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭
Houston, AK

My husband who has Alzheimer’s has to wear adult pampers at night. I have bought so many brands but none seem to “hold” (pee”) . Most of the time I have to get up in the middle of the night to clean and change his pampers….including his pajamas and shirt.
If you know of a brand that your loved one is using and can hold a lot, please let me know.
My husband doesn’t drink any liquids passed 6pm. I thank you in advance!

A myALZteam Member

Thank you so much! I’ll buy them right now 🥰
