Default Need Suggestions For Old Dog Problems

We are having problems with our old dog. He has signs of dementia and is partially blind. I can't even leave the house to go shopping now without coming home to a mess. He does his business and then walks through it and spreads it. What a mess. We have tried keeping him in his crate, loose in the house, on the lanai, and outside on the enclosed patio. Same issue. We take him out to potty before leaving. But he gets so nervous he has to poo again. I can't think of any solutions on my own. I thought perhaps some of you might have a suggestion. Keeping him in his kennel keeps the mess confined, but keeps him in it. Keeping him comfortable and giving him something to chew on has not helped. Any ideas?
