Leaving a night-light on helps the resident see and navigate the room at night. Discouraging the use of long-legged pajama bottoms makes it easier for the resident to use the toilet without clothing interference. Placing a urinal at the bedside provides an immediate option for urination, especially if getting to the bathroom is not feasible quickly. Keeping the room uncluttered reduces the risk of falls and makes it easier for the resident to reach the bathroom. Waking the resident every 2 hours can disrupt sleep and may not be conducive to restoring self-toileting.
