My Dad has dementia and is incontinet. I would like some advice on the best clothing for him to wear. He also gets cold easily. I am his caregiver and love ideas that would be easy for the both of us. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. :)

I try to go with soft fabrics that feel comfortable and that are easy on her skin.
All I get are elastic waist, but I'm not sure if that would work for a man, though they could wear sweat pants.

I found this company that specialized in adaptive clothing and have ordered some of their things for my mother.
Pants with elastic waist bands are a must. Tennis shoes with Velcro tabs instead of laces. And you might want to consider sweatshirts if your dad is always cold and is incontinent. Sweaters (like button down) that hang down can get in the way and become soiled. Strike a balance between what's easiest for you and what your dad finds comfortable.
