A Professional & Discreet Path to Managing Continence in {suburb}

Managing incontinence can be a challenging and deeply personal journey. It’s often accompanied by anxiety and a sense of lost control, and it can be difficult to know where to turn for help that is both effective and respectful of your dignity.

The first and most important step towards a long-term solution is a professional continence assessment.

At MD Home Care, our service is led by qualified and experienced Continence Nurse Advisors who provide a confidential, in-home assessment service in {suburb}. Our goal is to understand the underlying causes of incontinence and create a personalised, evidence-based plan that restores your confidence and quality of life.

Is It Time for a Professional Assessment?

If you or a loved one are experiencing any of the following, a professional assessment can provide clarity and a path forward:

• Anxiety about leaving the house due to fear of accidents.
• Frustration with store-bought products that don’t seem to work effectively.
• Confusion about how to use NDIS or Home Care Package funding for continence needs.
• Concern about skin health and the risk of irritation or infection.
• A desire for a dignified, long-term solution rather than a temporary fix.

Our Clinical Approach to Continence Care

Our service is built on a foundation of clinical expertise, empathy, and absolute discretion.

The Role of Our Continence Nurse Advisor

Our Continence Nurse Advisors are registered nurses with specialised post-graduate qualifications in continence management. They are experts in assessing, diagnosing, and creating management plans for bladder, bowel, and pelvic floor dysfunction. Their role is to be your trusted partner, providing clinical guidance with compassion and respect.

What to Expect During Your In-Home Assessment

Your assessment will be a private, one-on-one consultation in the comfort of your own home. Here’s how we ensure the process is thorough and stress-free:

1. A Respectful Conversation: We’ll discuss your health history, symptoms, diet, and lifestyle to get a complete picture of your situation.
2. Goal Setting: We listen to what you want to achieve. Is it confidence to go out, better sleep, or simpler daily management?
3. Product & Strategy Review: We’ll assess any current products or strategies you’re using to see what’s working and what isn’t.
4. Creating Your Plan: Based on the assessment, your Nurse Advisor will develop a comprehensive Continence Care Plan. This is a detailed document outlining recommended products, toileting schedules, and other strategies to improve management.

“The Assessment Was a Turning Point.”

“For months, we were just guessing, buying different products and hoping for the best. It was stressful and upsetting for my mum. Having the Continence Nurse visit was a turning point. She was so professional and kind, and for the first time, we had a real plan. Knowing what to do and what products to use has given my mum her dignity back.” - Robert T., {suburb}

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the continence assessment invasive or embarrassing? Absolutely not. The assessment is a structured conversation and observation-based process. There are no invasive procedures. Our Nurse Advisors are highly skilled at creating a comfortable and professional environment where you can feel at ease discussing sensitive information. Your dignity is our highest priority.

How is a clinical assessment different from just buying products? Store-bought products are a one-size-fits-all solution to a complex problem. A clinical assessment identifies the type and cause of incontinence, allowing for a tailored plan. This often leads to using fewer, more effective products, improving skin health, and significantly increasing your confidence and comfort.

Is the assessment covered by NDIS or my Home Care Package? Yes. A professional continence assessment is widely recognised as a crucial healthcare need. It is typically funded under Improved Daily Living (Category 15) in your NDIS plan or is a standard service within your Home Care Package budget. We can help you confirm your funding and manage the process.
