Living with a condition which affects the bladder or bowel can be understandably stressful – and for some it’s a potentially life-restricting situation that can cause significant distress day-to-day. As with many medical conditions, continence needs can vary enormously.
Care Matters Homecare has a team dedicated to providing additional help with catheter, bowel and stoma care for individuals at home.
Whether it’s going to the toilet and changing pads, managing a catheter or changing a colostomy or stoma bag, our professional, compassionate and discrete care can help make things more comfortable and reassuring for both the individual and their family.
A life-restricting situation that can cause significant distress and great discomfort, that is why our experienced complex care teams will help you to continue living an independent life, as comfortably as possible.
Plus, with the expertise of our nursing care team behind everything we do, our carers are all highly trained to provide a full range of continence care services from the comfort of your own home and delivered in a sensitive, dignified, and compassionate way, each and every time we visit.
