Accurate assessment is the cornerstone of effective continence care — yet in many care settings, it remains inconsistent, outdated, or poorly integrated into care planning. This session explores how assessment practices can be improved to better reflect the needs of today’s long-term care residents.
Join a panel of frontline experts as they discuss current approaches, challenges in assessment, and emerging tools and strategies to support person-centered continence care. Whether you’re new to this area or deeply involved, this webinar will offer practical insights and spark ideas for meaningful change.
Let’s take the next step together to raise the standard of continence care — starting with how we assess it.
