Every’s Home Care Is Helping People With Personal Care & Elderly Incontinence

Incontinence is something which many elderly people experience, and yet it is a subject which is rarely discussed.

The fact that incontinence is considered to be a taboo subject means that large numbers of elderly people are left feeling ashamed, embarrassed and reluctant to ask for help. Yet the problem is a common one, with around a quarter of elderly people experiencing bladder issues and one-tenth facing bowel problems.

Medical Conditions Associated with Incontinence
  • Infection – not only of the urine but also of the skin between the legs, the commonest of which is a fungal infection in which the skin is red and moist.
  • Estrogen Deficiency – very common in elderly ladies, causing urinary urgency and a sore, dry vagina.
  • Diabetes – often associated with incontinence. Check for the presence of glucose in the urine.
  • Neurological Disorders such as stroke or multiple sclerosis – affect central nervous system control of bladder and sphincter.
  • Previous Pregnancies – difficult deliveries, may result in prolapse or nerve damage.

Our Caregiver Are Trained to Assist & Help Your Loved One With Dignity
Incontinence is a symptom and not a disease. Treatments for loss of bladder or bowel control depend on which type of medical condition is being treated as well as what is causing a senior’s problem. Although it is a topic that is seldom discussed openly, it is very important for the health and well-being of an affected senior that an accurate medical diagnosis is made in a timely manner.

Our trained in-home caregivers can assist with helping your loved one to the toilet or by providing a bedpan where physical or cognitive issues have limited their mobility. In some cases, incontinence cannot be 100% managed by medical interventions and protective incontinence products are needed. We can assist with educating an elderly family member as to the use and correct way to dispose of any required products.

What Causes Incontinence In The Elderly?

There are many reasons why incontinence may occur such as:

Weak bladder muscles or pelvic floor muscles.
Injury, or damage to nerves or muscles from surgery.
Damage to the bladder nerves from diabetes, multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease.
