Impacts of Incontinence – A Canadian Perspective …
Long-term Care Urinary incontinence is currently the most common cause of admission to long- term health care in Canada and the United States. 30 According to the Public Health Agency of Canada the incidence of incontinence rises dramatically - nine to ten times - for seniors resident in long term care facilities compared to seniors residing “at-home” in the community. 30 Falls People with UI symptoms often rush to the bathroom thus, especially amongst seniors, increasing their risk of falls that can lead to fractures and even admission to long-term care facilities.36
