The critically ill or elderly are highly prone to have an established urinary or fecal incontinence but these problems can be easily managed and prevented with proper management. An individual who experiences loss of bowel or bladder control is going to feel isolated, depressed, and embarrassed, which can lead to social deterioration and mental health issues and if continued to be left untreated, it may also lead to social isolation or even worse, develop a memory-related disorder. That is why with an adequate understanding of continence management, a care provider can help prevent transient incontinence from being a routine pattern in an individual’s life.
About Our Continence Management
Continence management is a treatment plan that helps your aging loved ones maintain and achieve control of their bladder and bowel functions. These problems can be managed and cure through adequate continence care. Some of the symptoms of incontinence are leaking of urine, passing of urine frequently, and uncontrollable wind. Most of these signs can be addressed with proper continence care and treatment plan programs.
Benefits of Having Continence Management in Your Retirement Community
Incontinence can negatively impact residents. A proper continence management program provides several benefits to the long-term care of residents. They can maintain and regain continence and reduce the severity of incontinence. Residents who are at higher risk of developing incontinence will be given the proper tools to maintain their bowel or bladder movement. Individuals with constant incontinence can also learn new ways of managing their bowel movement well. The benefits of undergoing continence management are:
- Lesser trips from admissions to hospitals
- Fewer complications and reduced mobility factors that are licked with incontinence
- Improve the quality of life with a sense of freedom and self-sufficiency
When Should You Consider Moving into a Retirement Community?
If you notice that your aging loved ones are behaving isolated and taking multiple trips to the toilet, talk with them to understand their situation. Incontinence can be very embarrassing for them so take your time and be patient with them. Move to a senior living community if both you and your loved one agree. Moving to a new location might be daunting for them due to their age. In these communities, they have dedicated team members with continence management plans that can provide assistance whenever your loved ones need them.
