Mum has recently become double incontinent. She has been in an EMI Nursing Home for 4 years, and is still walking.
Do nursing homes provide pads, and only pads? Are the pads included in care home fees? Can we request a meeting with an incontinence specialist even though Mum is in care? This would be mainly so I can learn a bit more about incontinence and how to best manage it? If I want to provide pull up pants for Mum, do we have to pay, or can we get some through National Health Service. BTW Mum is self funding.
Lots of questions, sorry. Any advice truly appreciated. Sue
