Personalised Continence Assessment in Adelaide
We know how continence challenges can affect confidence, independence, and day-to-day routines. That’s why Bridging Potentials offers Continence Assessments in Adelaide – a personalised and respectful approach helping participants understand and manage bladder and bowel needs, while supporting dignity, comfort, and participation in everyday life. Our assessments are designed to be empowering and practical, ensuring that participants can continue to engage in their daily activities with confidence.
Whether you are an NDIS participant, self-managed, or plan-managed, our continence assessments are tailored to suit your unique needs, preferences, and goals. The process involves a thorough discussion about your routines, challenges, and priorities, so that every recommendation is meaningful and achievable.
At Bridging Potentials, we understand that continence needs are highly individual. That’s why our team works closely with you and, where appropriate, carers or support workers, to develop practical strategies that promote independence, comfort, and confidence. By focusing on personalised solutions, our assessments help participants feel understood, supported, and empowered to manage continence in a way that enhances their overall quality of life and wellbeing.
How Our Continence Assessment Works
Our continence assessments are conducted by suitably qualified clinicians with relevant experience. We work collaboratively with you to explore your needs and create strategies that are practical, safe, and person-centred.
The assessment may include:
- Understanding bladder and bowel habits and daily challenges
- Reviewing current continence products, equipment, or catheter use
- Identifying environmental factors affecting comfort and independence
- Suggesting practical routines and strategies to manage needs
- Supporting safe and dignified toileting practices
- Documenting findings for NDIS planning and funding purposes
With your consent, carers or support workers can be involved to ensure recommendations are easy to follow and implement in your daily life.
Outcomes You Can Rely On
After your assessment, you’ll receive a personalised continence plan with practical recommendations tailored to your goals. This may include guidance on products and aids, routines, environmental adjustments, and strategies to promote comfort, confidence, and independence.
Our team ensures that every recommendation is realistic, easy to follow, and designed to fit seamlessly into your daily life, supporting both your personal routines and broader participation in everyday activities, helping you feel more in control, supported, and confident.
The plan also provides clear documentation to support NDIS funding requests or plan reviews, ensuring your continence needs are fully understood and included in your broader support plan. It serves as a practical guide for participants, carers, and support workers, helping everyone involved implement strategies consistently and effectively for better day-to-day outcomes, improved confidence, and greater independence.
