|  | | | | Caregiving professionals and families members recently weighed in on the topic of incontinence care on the Home Instead Facebook pages Caregiver Stress Relief and Remember for Alzheimer's
. As you'll see, family members clearly want to have this conversation, and they seek input from senior care professionals about how to cope with bladder and bowel incontinence. "Some family members can't do this [incontinence caregiving]. It is okay. We are not all made the same." - Veronica B. "We all need to have these 'difficult conversations' until all associated health problems become demystified. There is no longer stigma attached. 100 years ago childbirth, menstruation and sexual health were taboo subjects. Let's adjust our thinking into the 21st century." - Diane B. "Husband has poo accidents quite often just recently. I have suggested pull ups or at least pads, but he refuses. Hard to keep up with the washing. Any suggestions?" - Barb K.
