Continence assessments and NDIS reportsRodem Community Care Pty Ltd provides professional continence assessments and NDIS continence reports for participants who require support with bladder and bowel management.Our goal is to help participants, families, support coordinators and care teams better understand the cause of continence concerns and identify suitable care strategies, products and supports. Our continence assessments can support people experiencing urinary incontinence, bowel incontinence, mixed continence concerns, catheter-related needs, toileting difficulties, or continence issues associated with disability, ageing, reduced mobility, cognitive impairment or complex health conditions. We provide in-person services where available and Telehealth consultations across all Australian states and territories where clinically appropriate. |  |
What is a Continence Assessment?A continence assessment is a clinical review that helps identify a person’s bladder and bowel needs, current continence routine, support requirements and suitable management options. The assessment may consider the participant’s disability, medical history, medication, mobility, cognition, diet, fluid intake, skin integrity, toileting routine, continence products and level of support required from carers or support workers. The outcome of the assessment may include practical recommendations, a continence management plan, product recommendations and an NDIS report to support reasonable and necessary funding requests. |
