What Is a Continence Assessment?
A continence assessment is a detailed review of a person’s bladder and bowel needs, conducted by a qualified Continence Nurse Specialist. It’s often the first step in accessing funded continence products and support through a Home Care Package (HCP).During the assessment, we:
- Discuss the client’s health history, routines, and continence goals
- Assess bladder and bowel function, mobility, and toileting needs
- Recommend appropriate continence products and management strategies
- Provide product samples and quotes for funding purposes
- Develop a personalised continence care plan
- Supply documentation to support HCP funding and care planning.
Who Should Have A Continence Assessment?
A continence assessment through a Home Care Package (HCP) may be needed when:
- A client is experiencing incontinence
- A Case Manager is reviewing or updating the care plan
- The client’s continence needs have changed
- Product funding or a new support strategy is required
- There is no current assessment or continence care plan on file
We work closely with Case Managers, families, and clients to ensure the referral and assessment process is simple, respectful, and results-driven.
