Assisting PALS in publc toilets?

[Buckhorn]

Hi all. My husband is still able to go out with me for dinners/movies, etc. However, as we all know, not all places have "family" restrooms. My hubby needs help with his zipper and he also is too unsteady for me to leave him alone. When a separate "family restroom" is not available, I go into the men's room. I knock on the door first, then help my hubby with the door. This is a bit awkward, as men are sometimes in the process of using the open urinals (without the stall). I have had no one say anything to me. In fact, when they realize what is going on the men are usually very understanding and even helpful (holding the door when we exit, etc.).

So, for those of you who have "been there", in the absence of a family bathroom, am I right in choosing to take my PALS into the men's restroom? I can't wait for the day when all restrooms will be private rooms that are gender neutral.

TY for your anticipated responses.
