Dementia constitutes a global public health priority. Incontinence and dementia are stigmatising conditions that have physical, psychological, social and economic impacts for the person their carers and society at large. Supporting people living with dementia and their families and informal carers at home may mitigate or delay the need for institutional care. This presentation describes how dementia affects continence, how family carers can optimise continence in a person with dementia, the relationship of mobility to continence in this cohort and how mobility can be maintained. It will equip delegates with knowledge about practical interventions for this vulnerable population. As such, the presentation challenges pervasive negative social constructions of dementia and incontinence that can disadvantage people with dementia and their families.
