Yes , it is over due time that you all get him off your grandmas back and either have him put in a care home, or home aid.
Your grandma should not have to take care of him in this state, or any other.
Give her a break, and let her have what little life she has left, free of caring for someone else.
This is difficult for even the strongest person.
why don't you all know that?

you could get him to the dr to run some tests
he may just have the sensation of needing to,he may be constipated
social services could come in and do an evaluation to see what.if any help could be available to your grandparents
he may be frightened that he will have an accident if he does not go regularly
but i think a Dr's visit would be in order here
look up a dementia website to see if they have any info
best wishes
home health aid.
