The CareGiver Partnership has been selected to guest author a series of three articles for "Senior Industry Insider," a monthly newsletter for professionals in the senior living industry. It's published by
RetirementHomes.com, an online guide to retirement living. My first in the
series published Jan. 17, with articles to follow in February and March.
As an experienced caregiver and provider of incontinence
products and services, this publication was a natural fit. Because incontinence
affects residents at all types of senior living and assisted living facilities,
finding best practices for managing urinary and bowel incontinence is a concern
for staff. It’s also an important topic in long-term care facilities, where incontinence
supplies are the third highest cost area after food and laundry expenses.
My article provides information on incontinence types and
tips, which staff in any care environment can share with residents so they can
work together to choose products based on the types of incontinence they’re
managing. We find some of our customers aren’t aware that certain types of
incontinence are more common among a particular gender, or that there are
products made specifically to fit a man’s or a woman’s anatomy. This article
explains how specific products can make it easier to manage certain types of
incontinence.
The first of my three articles, “Managing Incontinence in
the Senior Living Setting,” along with the two articles to follow, will be
archived in the RetirementHomes.com Senior Living Library. To view the full
article, go to RetirementHomes.com. If you are a professional in the senior
living industry and would like me to address a specific topic, e-mail
me.

Senior living and retirement communities Long Island should do their best to provide our elders with the best homes possible. I'm glad you're keeping an eye to this issue.
Thank you for these tips Lynn. I have been reading up on all your post, being a caregiver to my mom, and I am always learning something new from your every post.
Thank you so much for continuously sharing your knowledge.
Dear Medicare Vision - thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you are finding the information helpful and useful. Our aim is to provide information on topics caregivers tell us is most important to them.
Listen guys. I do appreciate your point of view. Thanks for sharing this. With this I would like to ask about Best Retirement Communities . I have a sister. She is retired and in poor health. My relative suggested me Garden Spot Village & He said that it is one of very good place for retirees and they also provide health care services. Can anyone give feedback about them? I will appreciate.
