A continence assessment typically includes a detailed review of your bladder and bowel history, an evaluation of your fluid intake, a physical examination where appropriate, and the development of a personalised continence care plan. Additionally, our nurses provide specific recommendations for NDIS-funded continence products, assistive technology, and any other supports that may benefit you.
To access NDIS funding for continence supports, you first need a formal continence assessment from a registered provider such as A1 Care Group. Subsequently, your detailed assessment report is submitted to the NDIS as clinical evidence for funding. Furthermore, our team can guide you through this documentation process and liaise directly with your support coordinator to make everything as straightforward and stress-free as possible.
Yes, absolutely. A1 Care Group offers TeleHealth continence assessments for residents throughout Eltham and across Australia. Therefore, even if you have limited mobility or find it difficult to leave home, you can still access a comprehensive and professional continence assessment from the comfort and privacy of your own environment. TeleHealth appointments are equally thorough and result in the same detailed care plan as in-home visits.
Yes, indeed. We provide continence assessments for children, young adults, adults, and older Australians alike. Furthermore, our nurses are experienced in working with children who have developmental delays, autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disabilities, and other conditions that may affect toileting. We also support families with toilet training programmes and bedwetting management strategies tailored specifically for children in Eltham.
You do not necessarily need a GP referral to access a continence assessment through A1 Care Group. However, if you are an NDIS participant, your support coordinator or NDIS planner may need to be involved in the process. Additionally, if you are accessing services through My Aged Care, a referral from your case manager may be required. Therefore, we recommend contacting our team directly so we can assess your specific situation and advise you on the best pathway forward.
