Pate Rehab Continence Care

A common but often overlooked challenge many patients who have suffered a stroke or brain injury face is experiencing urinary incontinence. At Pate Rehab, continence care is integrated into daily rehabilitation, providing every patient the opportunity to work on bladder control as part of their recovery.

What Sets Pate Apart
Most post‑acute brain injury programs focus solely on containing incontinence, but at Pate, we go the extra mile and proactively evaluate and treat it as a core part of therapy. Our approach helps patients progress faster, participate more holistically in rehab, and return to meaningful daily activities with dignity.

• Part of therapy day: Our continence program is integrated into Day Neuro and Transitional programs, allowing patients to practice skills throughout the day.

• Interdisciplinary teamwork: Occupational therapy, physical therapy, nursing, case management, and neuropsychology collaborate to set goals and develop interventions that align with the patient’s overall care plan.

Our Treatment is Built Into Patient Therapies
Our care team creates a plan that meets each patient’s goals and therapies. Because continence goals are part of the daily therapy schedule, patients can also practice skills in real‑world scenarios, during sessions, transitions, and community activities.

An Essential Part of Recovery
Restoring continence is crucial after stroke or brain injury as it supports dignity, independence, and quality of life. 

Patients who participate in a targeted program often gain:

• Greater independence in daily activities
• Improved self‑esteem and emotional well‑being
• Reduced caregiver burden
• Lower risk of medical complications and skin issues
• More holistic recovery, not just physical, but personal

Clinical research shows that continence treatment improves participation and outcomes in neurorehabilitation. Incontinence is common after stroke or TBI, so early treatment is essential, rather than optional.
