text: how to get a person with dementia to keep night clothes on.? this gentleman takes his pajamas off and his depends at night and gets very frustrated when he can't control his bowels or bladder. any help or suggestions would be welcome. his daughter takes care of him at home, and doesn't know what to do about it. thank you im a specialty aged care nurse and well there isnt a lot you can do. if it is offending other people well i suggest you buy/him her a hospital type liek gown. if your nan/pop etc is reverting to childhood years as they commonly do, say snat wont visit them or some kind of coax. if they just want to keep taking it off, as youd know its hard to reason well you ant reason with a demented patient. manipulate other techniques you use to settle them and use it in this sitaution. all the best
