I would also consider a fully waterproof mattress cover if it covers the mattress entirely. I am dealing with poorly trained and/or incompetent AL staff who can't seem to make his full-sized bed with the mattress protectors to prevent mattress damage.
Many options online but am hoping for suggestions from caregivers who know!
Thanks in advance.

They are cleanable, waterproof.
You can get a larger size hospital bed or mattress. Look for a mattress or a bed that is for bariatric patients. They are generally over sized.
If he is by himself a twin extra long (that is the size hospital beds typically are) will be much easier for the staff to make and as he needs more help they can raise and lower the bed so it is easier for him to get in and out.

If you are receiving some home health care services for him,they should be able to make referral,options. If you do not have home health care services, confer with PCP about getting these services in the home to both help or and yourself going forward.
