As a family caregiver, a common caregiving responsibility includes helping your loved one with incontinence care and toileting.
Although rarely talked about, urinary incontinence affects between 25-30% of older men and women, according to the Urology Care Foundation. Similarly, bowel (or fecal) incontinence affects about 1 in 12 adults.
Intimate issues involving bodily functions can make for challenging conversations, but the right resources make things easier. That’s why we’ve developed a comprehensive downloadable guide to incontinence & toileting.
