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

As far as disposable briefs, Tranquility brand is the best I’ve ever found and you can even order samples to see how they fit. We use the overnight pull-ups 24/7 along with the fusion bed pad at night and I rarely need to wash more than the pad. He does sleep on his back and at least when he is asleep he rarely changes position. I’ve also used the “booster pads” inside his pull-up.

Depending on where you live, if you haven’t already, you may want to keep a disposable supply in hand for emergencies. We are in the hurricane season right now and if we lose power they would come in handy.
I use a washable “pet protector cover” for our LR sofa and chair to protect our furniture and then use a plaid waterproof pad on top of that on his chair.
I too am interested in how others have found effective types and ways to use washable incontinence supplies.
We also use the washable pads on chairs and bed and even have a bag of supplies for going places like restaurants which includes a change of both underwear and pants as well as pads for the seat. We have a lot of smelly laundry as well! I have found some sprays that can be applied to reduce or eliminate the odor when needed. There are products out there for human urine which seem to work well and we also use on the couches when she manages to sit without the pads at home. I have also resorted to the pet urine sprays which can also work. If you can manage the smell more intense but not constant you can also seal the wet items in a container that seal well, I use a trash bag that I can tie shut when my mother is in a hotel. (Yes, we have a more expansive bag for hotel stays including the bed pads so even a weekend away multiplies the load)
I hope my mother is as open to upgrading to diapers someday as your husband!
Also, a pre-rinse before the regular washing cycle? Then, the diapers aren't being washed along with so much urine.
She used Bum Genius. Lots of info there.
They have adult cloth diapers for small adults.

I'm stepping up on rinsing after having headaches last week. I think it's partly his liver failure sometimes urine smell is really not good because of his system not working right and we're in a bad stretch. I'll check out the link.
