At Heathwood Assisted Living, we understand the importance of specialized care for seniors facing incontinence challenges.

Understanding Incontinence in Seniors

Incontinence is a common condition among elderly individuals and can significantly impact their daily lives. Understanding the types and causes of incontinence, debunking misconceptions, and addressing the stigmas surrounding this condition is essential. By raising awareness, we can promote a supportive and empathetic environment for seniors with incontinence.


Creating an Incontinence Management Plan

Developing a personalized incontinence management plan is crucial for effectively addressing the challenges faced by seniors. This involves assessing an individual's specific needs, involving healthcare professionals, and considering factors such as mobility, cognitive abilities, and lifestyle preferences. By tailoring the plan to each resident, we ensure comprehensive and effective care.  Through our Enhanced Program we can offer daily toileting schedules to reduce the risks of accidents.

Our comfortable accommodations, trained staff members, and supportive environment provide a safe and caring home for residents. We prioritize their comfort, independence, and overall well-being.


Selecting the Right Incontinence Products

Choosing the appropriate incontinence products is vital for maintaining comfort and hygiene. There is a wide range of options available, including pads, briefs, and other accessories. Our team at Heathwood Assisted Living can assist residents in selecting the right products based on their specific requirements, ensuring optimal effectiveness and comfort.
