  • Incontinence Begins: Four Essential Tips / Alzheimer’s and Other Dementias

    Incontinence Begins: Four Essential Tips / Alzheimer’s and Other Dementias
    2024/09/17
    Who knew that understanding the stages of incontinence could make such a difference in our caregiving journey? As caregivers for our loved ones with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia, we’ve learned incontinence is an inevitable - and can be - a challenging part of our journey. It’s a reality and a topic that’s not often discussed. It’s helpful for us to be prepared to navigate incontinence with compassion, dignity, and grace for our care receivers and for us. We are Nancy Treaster and Sue Ryan. Through our experiences, we’ve developed four tips to help you navigate the pre-incontinence and early incontinence phases on your caregiving journey. Takeaways Before we introduce your tips, it’s helpful to understand what we mean by ‘pre-incontinence’ and ‘early incontinence’. Pre-Incontinence This is the phase before actual incontinence begins, when our care receiver is showing signs incontinence may be on the horizon. Signs include: Using the trash can instead of the toilet for toilet paperNot flushing the toiletResisting drinking to avoid bathroom tripsLooking around anxiously (potentially for a bathroom) Early Incontinence When actual incontinence begins, it usually starts with urinary incontinence. Your loved one may still be trying to find the bathroom but often doesn’t make it in time. Signs include: Not getting to the bathroom fast enoughHolding their stomach, bottom, or between their legs Tip 1. Make it Easy to Find the Bathroom Yes, to us this sounds simple. To our loved one, they are disconnecting with the signs their bodies are telling them they need to go, and the steps to use the bathroom. One of the most effective ways to support your loved one during pre-incontinence and early incontinence is by making the bathroom as accessible and easy to find as possible. Tip 2. Schedule Bathroom Breaks Establishing a consistent bathroom routine can significantly reduce accidents and make the transition into full incontinence more manageable. Tip 3. Simplify Cleanup As incontinence progresses, accidents will happen. Being prepared can make cleanup easier and less stressful for both you and your loved one. Tip 4. Think Positively and Have Lots of Grace Perhaps the most important tip of all is to maintain a positive attitude and extend grace to both you and your loved one.

    Description

    Who knew being prepared could make such a difference in managing incontinence? Incontinence can be one of the most difficult areas of our caregiving journeys. It’s personal. It’s awkward. It’s rarely something discussed — by anyone — making it potentially uncomfortable to talk about. It’s also one of the most important areas to navigate with compassion and dignity — for us and for our care receiver. Early preparation is essential. This is your moment of truth as a caregiver. Ask yourself: Can I handle this physically? Mentally? Emotionally? And if so, how? The good news is, you’ve got time to think it through, talk with others, and make smart decisions. Use this runway wisely — your future self will thank you. We are Nancy Treaster and Sue Ryan — we’ve faced incontinence care head-on. Trust us, it’s better to think about this now or you’ll wish you had. There’s a lot going on with incontinence! In this episode, we’re sharing four game-changing tips to help you be prepared.
