We are looking for someone who can “sit” with him during bedtime hours for when our father wakes to use the toilet during the night. Otherwise you will sleep when he sleeps. This varies day to day. Sometimes he doesn’t get up at all. Other times it’s 2-3 times. The person will need to escort him into the bathroom and stand by the door to ensure he does not get dizzy and will need to help him up if he is struggling. You will then need to escort him back to bed. My father is able to clean himself and wash his hands. You just need to prompt him to wash them. If he’s hungry or thirsty he may ask for Tea and toast. You can help him make this and then settle him back to bed. There will be an alarm set up in his bedroom which will wake you up if he gets up from the bed on to the floor.
