Article: Providing dignified continence care to older people at end of life

At end of life, mobility is often compromised and people can experience extreme fatigue.  These factors and others can make it more difficult to maintain continence.  This article aims to enable healthcare staff to understand the problems older people may experience and how to work with the older person and caregivers to develop solutions that maintain dignity and enhance quality of life.
