We provide tailored packages of personal care services, including continence and catheter care.

Bladder and bowel issues

Bladder and bowel issues are incredibly common and can affect approximately 1 in 4 adults at some time during their life. Despite bladder and bowel issues being incredibly common, many people feel embarrassed and distressed when discussing these issues or asking for help.
Seeking help and support for these kinds of issues can greatly improves a person’s quality of life and comfort. Furthermore, understanding the condition and its complexities can help patients and our care staff to accurately manage and support continence issues.

What is continence care?

Continence care supports individuals with bladder and bowel issues through a structured and compassionate approach. Following a focused assessment and limited physical examination, a personalised care plan is developed to ensure effective treatment and ongoing support. Services include assessments and care plan management, guidance on lifestyle changes such as diet and fitness, pelvic floor exercise programmes, medication advice, bladder and bowel training, as well as the provision of continence products. Throughout every stage, Mayfair Care nurses deliver care with professionalism, dignity, and respect.

Continence & Catheter Care FAQs

Continence is the ability to control the bladder and bowel, allowing a person to urinate or pass stool at the appropriate time and place.

A urinary catheter is a thin, flexible tube inserted into the bladder to drain urine when a person cannot urinate naturally due to illness, surgery, or medical conditions.

Daily catheter care includes washing the area around the catheter with mild soap and water, keeping the drainage bag below bladder level, emptying the bag regularly, and ensuring the tubing is not kinked or blocked.

Signs may include cloudy or foul-smelling urine, fever, pain in the lower abdomen, burning sensation, redness around the catheter site, or leakage around the catheter.

The drainage bag should be emptied when it is about two-thirds full or at least every 6–8 hours to prevent backflow of urine and reduce infection risk.
