FACTS:
- 80% of women and 50% of men over the age of 50 experience incontinence
- Individuals wait an average of six years to seek help
- Only one in five people with incontinence seek help from their doctor
The Gentle Reminder Program has been developed by Home Instead Senior Care and Health & Home Solutions to offer an effective non-medical solution to the second leading reason why clients leave their homes for more costly long-term care...incontinence.
The comprehensive Gentle Reminder Program includes:
- Daily Routines
- Bladder Friendly Diets
- Fluid Management
- Personal Products
CAREGivers help seniors incorporate self-care in daily routines through our ABLE approach:
A = Attitude - A "Can Do" Attitude
B = Bathroom Breaks
L = Lifestyle Changes
E = Education Activities
The Gentle Reminder Program has been designed not only to promote continence and self-care, but most importantly, independence.
