Unable to hold urine/stool

Question

Asked for Female, 29 Years

Hi, this is regarding my maternal uncle who stays with us. He's 65 years old, partially handicapped(slurred speech, diffuculty in walking) since always. He does not feel the sensation to urinate or pass stool and understands once he has already started urinating/pooping. As a result he's never able to reach the toilet and ends up excreting wherever he's sitting/standing. This has started since the beginning of 2020. But due to lockdown we were unable to consult any doctor. Kindly suggest what measures can be taken.
