Incontinence Care for Seniors

Urinary incontinence is more common in elderly than people may be aware, and it’s often because it’s an issue that seniors don’t want to discuss. But when incontinence isn’t managed properly, it can lead to potentially serious health or hygiene problems. At Your Healing Touch, our home health care aides are committed to providing compassionate and respectful care for seniors in Indianapolis.

Creating a Plan

To ensure our clients are comfortable and healthy, an incontinence plan can be created to manage symptoms and needs depending on the severity of the symptoms. This may include creating a meal plan with foods and drinks that won’t exacerbate the problem, creating a bathroom schedule, waterproofing the bed, chairs, and sofas, and being prepared with the right materials before leaving the house. Although incontinence can be a symptom of medications, there are various causes, and we will work closely with your loved one’s doctor to ensure we are providing the best health care possible.

The skilled nurses and aides at Your Healing Touch are highly skilled in providing elderly care in a compassionate and respectful way. Incontinence is a difficult issue to address, but you can be confident that your loved one is getting the best care from experienced staff.

Your Healing Touch provides a range of in-home health care services, including medication reminders, companionship care, dressing and bathing, and more. Whatever your needs may be, you can rest assured knowing that we will treat your family as if they were our own. Call our Indianapolis team today to learn more.
