Simple Steps to Prepare for a Continence Assessment under NDIS

Preparing for an ndis continence assessment can feel overwhelming, but with the right steps, the process becomes simple and stress-free. At P Home Care, we aim to support participants in understanding what to expect and how to get ready for their ndis continence assessment with confidence.

The first step in preparing for an ndis continence assessment is gathering your medical information. This may include reports, prescriptions, past assessments, or notes about your daily continence needs. Having everything ready helps the professional understand your situation during the ndis continence assessment.

Another important step is keeping a continence diary. Before your ndis continence assessment, note how often you go to the toilet, any difficulties, and what support you currently need. This diary gives clear insight into your daily challenges and makes the ndis continence assessment easier and more accurate.

It also helps to think about your goals before the ndis continence assessment. Do you want better comfort, improved independence, or specialised equipment? When you clearly express your goals during the ndis continence assessment, the assessor can recommend the right supports.

Make sure you choose a quiet and comfortable space for the ndis continence assessment if it’s done at home. This helps you feel relaxed and able to share honest information. A calm environment ensures your ndis continence assessment goes smoothly and feels respectful.

If you have a support person—such as a family member, friend, or support coordinator—invite them to join your ndis continence assessment. They can help explain your needs and provide extra details that may support your ndis continence assessment outcomes.

Being honest during your ndis continence assessment is essential. Share any challenges, even if they feel embarrassing. Assessors are trained professionals, and honest communication helps your ndis continence assessment reflect your real needs.

After the ndis continence assessment, you will receive recommendations for products, therapies, or supports. Review these carefully and ask questions if needed. Understanding the results of your ndis continence assessment ensures you get the most helpful and appropriate support.

At P Home Care, we are here to guide you every step of the way. With the right preparation, your ndis continence assessment becomes a positive experience that leads to better health, independence, and everyday comfort.
