- Continence Care:
- Our caregivers assist with incontinence products, ensuring regular changes to maintain skin health and hygiene.
- We monitor dietary intake to address underlying factors that may impact continence, such as fiber intake or hydration levels.
- Creating a Routine:
- Establishing a consistent toileting schedule can help reduce accidents and improve comfort.
- We work with clients to identify optimal times for bathroom visits based on their routines and habits.
