Urinary incontinence is common, affecting over 800,000 adults in Australia. Although the problem of incontinence is not specific to any single client group, the elderly are particularly vulnerable. Many elderly live in fear of public disgrace and humiliation and thus become prisoners within their own homes, too afraid to admit their problem and ignorant of the help available to them. It is estimated that 70% of the incontinent population is not seeking help when many of them could be cured or significantly improved with appropriate community care.
