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.

Below is one example of a softer approach, giving full choice..
My LO needed disposables. Too many accidents. Disposables resisted as 'felt funny'. Recommonded by all caregivers & put in the drawer BUT regular underwear also LEFT in drawer. Why? A well intentioned family member did this to allow CHOICE.
Result (as you'd expect) regular underwear chosen & soiled.
Family saw providing options as providing 'dignity of choice'.
Yet LO appeared to have little awareness of growing incontinence. Little concern regarding soiled clothing, no concern regarding soiled furniture, no wish to improve hygiene.
A person must be able to understand & weigh up the options in order to make an informed decision on a matter.
When I take her out, I need to make sure she is wearing clean clothing and not pants with dried poop on the back. It's just heart- breaking to me to see how far gone her self- awareness is.
So this change won't be by her choice. It's just the way it has to be.
My mom wasn’t gung ho about using disposable underwear at first. Afterwards, she felt more confident about not soiling her clothes.
Wishing you and your mom all the best.
These type of Depends pull on's look most like real underwear. They DO make real incontinence underwear/panties but I doubt the Memory Care facility is willing to wash them.

These are good too, Always.
Good luck to you.
I wish I could say she won't know the difference, but she is not that far gone yet. When I talked to her previously, she said she "didn't like how they feel". But then she has on a pad in a panty, and then a support panty over that, and then her pants. All I can do sometimes is shake my head.
My mother feels and catches and complains about anything that feels different, or is new, or a wrinkle in a pillow. Which reminds me of the old fairytale the prince and the pee.
Sorry no suggestion, good luck
First you throw away all of her old underwear(not in front of her of course), and then you replace them with her "new" underwear Depends, and continue to refer to the Depends as her new underwear.
When she has no other options except to wear her "new" underwear, she will get used to them pretty quickly.
