Our regimen daily for my 93 yr old Mom is 1 dose miralax in juice in am, prune, 20 oz gatorade for sodium during day & senna at dinner. This appears to be working along with any fiber I can get down her. Blessings in your work to make life easier for your loved ones

There, you headed in the right direction. Good olde h2o will help solve many problems in older folks. Another thing you can use daily is Ionic magnesium citrate. For my Mom I used Natural Calm and had her drink it twice a day and it worked wonders. Plus it's tastes great! You can get it online or check with a natural health food store.
You cant go wrong with magnesium and just about everyone is deficient due our depleted soil today, especially older people. Give it a try. Your Dad will thank you.

Snowcat60, good call, he was "addicted" to Calm when he was at home with access to do a few things on his own. Now everything gets vetted by his doctor and administered by nurses. Grandma1954, I appreciate the reference to manual, noone else will even acknowledge that is one way that works, and to ignore it is what is obscene, yet, you won't find me suggesting it! due to the reactions and possibly the attempt by my Dad might cause him physical problems. My Mom tells me she used to have to do it for her grown kids a few times when illness incapacitated them. More importantly, Grandma1954, for future reference, and this applies to all remedies, especially the unusual ones, how long does this concoction take to kick in? Thanks for all the good support friends!
