Urinary tract infections and incontinence A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common, often painful condition that many people, especially women, will experience during their lifetime. A weakened immune system, ageing, and chronic illness can all contribute to developing UTIs. Another risk factor is incontinence – both urinary and bowel incontinence are risks of a UTI.

Skin health – an essential part of continence care

Toileting support for residents with incontinence There are several conditions and disabilities that can make it challenging to remain continent or to reach the toilet in time. Toileting helps prevent falls, maintains dignity and independence, and improves quality of life for residents. It also leads to fewer product changes, fewer products used and less waste. These dos and don’ts can help make toileting easier for caregivers and prevent incontinence in residents.
