Abstract

Urinary incontinence (UI) is one of the most common reasons residents enter long-term care facilities. A large number of long-term care residents with UI can be managed successfully when the problem is assessed and barriers to successful toileting are identified. This article describes an active program for managing UI in longterm care facilities using a multidisciplinary approach.
