- Urinary IncontinenceUrinary Incontinence/Bladder/Kidney Infections Urinary incontinence (UI) is a common but poorly understood problem in the elderly population. It is estimated that approximately one in five persons living in a community dwelling has significant urinary incontinence. Although the changes in urinary anatomy that result from normal aging do not cause urinary incontinence, they do create a situation that allows incontinence to occur more easily. Aging does result in a reduced size of the urinary bladder producing a decreased bladder volume and a need for more frequent bladder emptying. Additionally, many diseases and medications can contribute to the problem of urinary incontinence.

- Wound CareHeart Conditions/Hypertension Arteriosclerosis or "hardening of the arteries" occurs when the inside walls of an artery become thicker and less elastic. The thickening reduces the area available for blood flow. Although arteriosclerosis reveals few symptoms at first, the damaged artery eventually cannot carry enough blood to supply the necessary amount of oxygen. Cholesterol and similar substances attach themselves to the inside linings of the arteries. There they gradually thicken into a substance called plaque. As plaque grows, it narrows the artery and in some cases blocks it entirely. This can lead to angina and heart attacks.
- Physical Therapy8. Can you arrange for a visiting podiatrist or medical equipment? Yes. Visiting Physician works closely with other home care specialists including dentists, podiatrists and optometrists as well as medical equipment supply companies. We can also arrange for physical therapy, visiting nurse services and hospice care as the need arises.
