By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.

My mom sleeps with Tena 3XL pads that are 27 inch long and those contain all.
I know as I sometimes use them myself when travelling.
There is no need for any type of plastic sheets etc. as there is no leak ever
and I use washable bed pads and water proof mattress cover . But since the change in diapers there’s been no trouble
Underneath her sheet, on top of the mattress cover, I have a disposable bed pad. On top of the sheet, I have a 36"x36" waterproof cloth bed pad (I have two of them so I can switch them out when one needs washing).

I don't limit my mother's water intake during the day because the hydration has kept her from having a UTI.
On her, I have Always Discreet underwear.

And inside the underwear I have Tena overnight pads. I've tried various brands but the Tena are super soft and don't irritate around the edges.

Rarely does she wet outside of the underwear, but if she does, it's minimal and I just change her clothes and wash the bed pad.
Be sure to use barrier cream(s):

These might be good as they appear bulky and could accommodate depends, or perhaps doubling up on depends and they say they aren't noisy:

Try googling "clothes for incontinence' - I started there. There may be more than what I could find in a short time.

I found a waterproof top sheet:

And you likely can find more options (this one happens to be queen size but I saw more advertised. Google "Waterproof flat top sheets" .
You could double up on the depends and/or find ones that are for heavier flow.

And then of course you can always have her urologists recommend a catheter for her. I believe the Purwick catheter works well, but insurance doesn't cover it and it's kind of expensive, but obviously worth it if it saves you time and trouble and lets you sleep.
Incontinence is often the straw that will break the camels back and lead someone to have to place their loved one in the appropriate facility. You may be there and it's ok if you are.
I wish you well in figuring out what the best solutions are for your situation.
