5.     Functional incontinence – This is caused by other disabilities such as neurological disorders or arthritis. 

6.     Mixed incontinence – This is a person who suffers from more than one type of incontinence, such as stress incontinence plus urge incontinence.

Staying Safe Before Your Visit

Are you planning to visit your loved one?

Not sure how to stay safe even after getting the COVID-19 vaccine? 

At Plymouth Terrace, we want to keep your loved ones safe, happy, and healthy. We want you to see your loved one. Here’s how you can stay safe before your next visit: 

Self Evaluation: Check your symptoms daily. If you're feeling under the weather, consider staying home. Regularly testing yourself for COVID keeps those around you safe and allows you to make the best decisions when it comes to travel.

Face Coverings - If you’re feeling unsure about your surroundings, consider wearing a face mask! Wearing a face mask helps reduce your chance of potential exposure to COVID. When you wear a face mask, also reduce the risk of unknowingly spreading the virus. 

Wash Your Hands - Keeping your hands clean is a simple way to reduce your risk of infection. We don’t realize how often we’re touching shared surfaces! Whenever you can, you should wash your hands. Carrying hand sanitizer is another easy way to keep your hands clean while you’re out.
