While continence problems are a common problem in care homes, new and improved products can make life easier for both residents and carers…
As we get older our bodies succumb to all sorts of changes, not all of them pleasant, and for many people this may include incontinence. ‘None of us like to feel vulnerable or as if we’re not functioning as we would normally,’ says Jacinta Welland, a Carer in Leamington Spa. ‘Yet, incontinence is a major issue for many older people in care homes, affecting around 50% of residents.
There are all sorts of reasons people may become incontinent. Sometimes, it’s just a natural part of ageing, when pelvic muscles become weaker, making it more difficult to control bladder or bowel function. But, often the cause may be due to underlying conditions such as prostate problems, cancer, multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease.
Proper continence management is crucial as this helps residents to maintain a sense of wellbeing, not just physically, but also emotionally.’
A large part of managing continence in care homes is to use the right products. Here are the top 5 features to bear in mind when choosing incontinence pads:
