Can you help if my loved one has dementia and bowel incontinence?
Yes, we regularly support people who live with both dementia and bowel incontinence. These situations can be particularly stressful for families, because communication and understanding may be reduced. Our carers draw on both dementia care and continence training to create calm, predictable routines, using gentle prompts, visual cues, and reassuring language. We can help with regular toileting, pad changes, clothing and bedding, and soothing any distress if accidents occur. We’ll also look at the environment — for example, making the bathroom easy to find and comfortable — and work alongside you to adjust support as the condition changes. This can greatly reduce strain on relatives and improve dignity for the person living with dementia.
