Nursing Continence Assessments

What is a Continence Assessment?

A nursing continence assessment is a specialized evaluation to address bladder and bowel control issues, ensuring comfort, dignity, and quality of life for participants.

Why It Matters:

This assessment helps identify the causes of continence issues and creates effective treatment plans. Early intervention improves comfort, prevents complications, and enhances overall well-being.

Why Choose Us?

  • Personalized Care: Tailored assessments to meet your individual needs.
  • Comprehensive Evaluation: We assess bladder function, bowel health, and overall quality of life.
  • Expert Guidance: Professional advice on treatment, management, and lifestyle changes.
  • Confidential & Respectful: We prioritize your privacy and dignity in a supportive environment.
  • Follow-Up Support: Ongoing assistance throughout your continence care journey.

What the Assessment Involves:

  1. Participant History: Review of medical history, lifestyle factors, and past treatments.
  2. Symptom Evaluation: Questions about urinary and bowel symptoms, and their impact on daily life.
  3. Physical Examination: To identify anatomical or physiological issues.
  4. Diagnostic Testing: Further tests (e.g., bladder diaries, urine tests) may be recommended.
  5. Personalized Plan: A care plan including lifestyle changes, treatments, and specialist referrals.

How to Prepare:

Before the assessment, complete a 3-day bowel and bladder diary, and gather your medical history and current medications to help the nurse understand your condition.

After the Assessment:

We’ll create a personalized care plan, which may include management strategies, product recommendations, and follow-up appointments. You’ll receive a comprehensive report to share with your family, support team, and health professionals.

NDIS Funding Support:

If applicable, we’ll help determine if NDIS funding can support the purchase of continence products or the assessment itself, depending on your eligibility. We provide detailed reports to assist with NDIS funding approvals.

For families with children, we ensure that care plans are shared with schools and support workers to meet your child’s needs
