One of the most common (and sometimes hardest) questions we hear from families is: “How do you handle incontinence?”
It’s a natural concern. No one wants their loved one to feel embarrassed, uncomfortable, or lose their dignity. At Holladay Home, a small 15-bed Type I assisted living home in Holladay, Utah, we treat incontinence with the same care and respect we give every part of daily life.
Here’s exactly how we help.
We Understand It’s Normal — And We Make It Private Incontinence affects many seniors, whether due to age, medication, mobility challenges, or medical conditions. We never treat it as something to be ashamed of. Instead, we approach it quietly, kindly, and professionally.
We never discuss personal care in common areas, and our small size means we can give one-on-one attention without rushing.
Discreet, Respectful Daily Assistance Our trained caregivers:
- Help with scheduled toileting and prompt changes so accidents are rare
- Use high-quality, discreet adult briefs and pads that are comfortable and odor-controlling
- Perform gentle, private personal care with the resident’s privacy always protected (curtains, closed doors, and drapes)
- Offer frequent, gentle reminders without making anyone feel childlike
- Keep skin clean and dry to prevent irritation or breakdown
We follow each resident’s individual care plan, created with input from the resident and their family.
Comfort Comes First We focus on comfort every step of the way:
- Soft, breathable products that don’t feel bulky
- Frequent linen and clothing changes so everything stays fresh
- Gentle, fragrance-free wipes and creams to protect sensitive skin
- Warm water and soft towels for any needed cleaning
Our goal is simple: your loved one should feel clean, dry, and completely at ease — just like they would at home.
Why a Small Home Makes a Big Difference In a large facility, staff often have 15–20 residents to care for at once. At Holladay Home, our small team cares for just 9–15 residents total. That means:
- More time for unhurried, respectful care
- Fewer rushed changes
- Staff who truly know each resident’s routines and preferences
- A calm, home-like environment instead of an institutional one
Families often tell us this personal touch is what gives them peace of mind.
We Work Closely with Families We keep families informed without ever sharing embarrassing details. You’ll know:
- How often changes are needed
- Which products are working best
- Any changes in your loved one’s needs
We also help coordinate with doctors or hospice if incontinence is related to a specific medical condition.
You’re Not Alone — And Neither Is Your Loved One If you’re worried about how your parent or spouse will be cared for, we want you to know this: at Holladay Home, incontinence is handled with kindness, professionalism, and dignity — every single day.
Our residents feel safe, respected, and cared for like family.
