Gentle Reminder Program

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.
