Based on her Bladders Matter-Helping People Speak Up! article in the Summer 2021 issue of the Journal of Aging Life Care™, Dr. Annemarie Dowling-Castronovo stimulated the interest of members in our New York region. Aging Life Care Managers® support aging adults and their caregivers – many of whom are part of the 33 million people in the United States suffering with urinary incontinence (UI). Participants will improve their ability to share evidence-based information about UI with their clients including key resources to share – and learn a tip or two for caring for their own bladder health.
Goal: To engage Aging Life Care Managers with evidence-based assessment and conservative management of urinary incontinence so that they will enhance the services they provide to clients.
List the objectives for your presentation in behavioral terms.
- Describe healthy bladder behavior skills for aging adults with urinary incontinence.
- List at least one resource for bladder health that you would provide to a client.
- Name one healthy bladder behavior skill YOU will start today.
