Offering solutions for your incontinence issues
Melbourne-based Wings of Care Continence Nursing Assessment & Aids services provide specialized continence services to the disability sector. Our aim is straightforward: to provide our customers with the necessary support, information, tools, and resources to recover control of their lives by addressing their continence needs.
Wings of Care is a multidisciplinary team of support workers that provides clinical assessment and care for patients with bladder, bowel or pelvic floor disorder. Individualized continence nursing management plans offer counselling, education, and support for men, women, and children.
Our programme provides thorough continence assessment, intervention, and access to continence devices to help consumers and their families properly manage their needs. It is vital that continence be addressed in the NDIS plan for the client.
Incontinence is the accidental or involuntary loss of urine from the bladder (urinary incontinence), bowel matter, or wind from the bowel (faecal or bowel incontinence). It can range from mild to severe, and it's estimated that over 6 million Australians report trouble controlling their bladder or bowels – though many more may not take steps to seek help.
Fortunately, there are various treatment and management options, and incontinence symptoms can be completely resolved in some cases. Incontinence shouldn't be viewed as a normal part of aging – if you have any concerns about your bladder or bowel control, seek professional advice.
At Wings of Care, we understand that every individual is unique.
We offer comprehensive assessments to evaluate your bowel and bladder habits, medical history, medications, diet, fluid intake, environment and any equipment or products used to address incontinence.
Our expertise allows us to recommend the most appropriate course of action for your particular needs - which may include collaborating with other services if necessary. In this way, you are empowered with the knowledge required to make an informed choice about incontinence treatments.
At our practice, we strive to provide personalized and consistent care for all of our patients. We will communicate with any medical professionals involved in your care, such as your GP or urologist, to ensure that you receive the best service possible and that everyone is on the same page. With us, you can rest assured that your needs will be met.
Together, we provide specialized evaluation and care for bladder, bowel, and pelvic floor issues. Your therapy may involve:
A plan for managing incontinence that is goal-oriented and time-limited.
Instruction and assistance for clients and carers.
Help with the selection of continence products and financing applications, if eligible.
