At Caring Hearts, we understand how tough incontinence may be. For seniors it can be downright embarrassing. However, at Caring Hearts our caring professional staff understands the importance of taking a proactive approach to help seniors recognize and to successfully deal with the condition.

Many seniors may believe incontinence is a sign of the normal aging process, this is not necessarily true. It is important to discuss issues of incontinence with their doctors, as incontinence is a symptom, not a disease itself. Understanding the different types of incontinence is crucial. Stress incontinence occurs during moments of laughter, sneezing, bending, or lifting. Urge incontinence is caused by sudden bladder contractions causing an urgent need to urinate. Sometimes the bladder is unable to hold urine, causing involuntary overflow of urine. Functional incontinence occurs in seniors with dementia who may forget to use the restroom, or in those with impaired mobility who are unable to reach the toilet in time.

The good news is there are way incontinence can be treated and managed, so seniors can continue to pursue active and happy lifestyles. Caring Hearts has trained professionals that are capable of help seniors who need incontinence care. Our loving staff understands the struggle that can relate to it.
