When Should a Resident Be Referred for Specialist Continence Support
Continence needs can change over time, particularly for older adults living in nursing homes. While many residents can be successfully supported through routine continence care, there are occasions when specialist assessment is needed to identify underlying causes, review treatment options or recommend a different approach.
Choosing Products That Help Maintain Healthy Skin in Care Homes
Maintaining healthy skin is one of the most important aspects of continence care in nursing and residential care settings. For residents living with urinary or faecal incontinence, the skin is exposed to constant moisture, friction and irritants that can quickly lead to discomfort and breakdown if not managed correctly.
