Q: Toileting When Wheelchair Bound

Hi all

this may not be the right place to ask this question but my father, who is 83 years old is now whellchair bound. He should be supervised while toileting. How can he do this when out with my mother. She obviously can't go into the men's room with him. I know that you can by devices to collect urine, but what about bowel movements. My father would like to be as independant as possible. He has had all sorts of stomach problems causing his bowel movements to be quite irregular.

Any help would be appreciated
