Spotlight on Protective Underwear Matching a resident with the best disposable incontinence product for their needs can be a daunting prospect. ProMed is here to help. Today we're shining a spotlight on one popular option, protective underwear. Protective underwear is ideal for active residents and can be pulled up and down like real underpants, enhancing resident dignity. It's also a great option for users in a bowel and bladder program, for toilet training or for restless, disoriented residents. ProMed offers two protective underwear products under our exclusive Embrace® brand. Embrace Adult Skin Caring Underwear with Leakage Barrier has an exclusive stretch panel that allows the product to fit close to the body for a discreet fit and a wearing experience similar to real underwear. The leakage barrier provides the ultimate defense against accidents while ultimate-absorbency polymers help keep residents dry and odors in check. Embrace Adult Skin Caring Underwear features a premium dual core with a high-loft, non-woven acquisition layer for fast absorption. The breathable, cloth-like cover provides exceptional comfort. When it's time for a change, tear-away sides make removal a cinch. To learn more about either of these products, as well as our complete Incontinence Care Management line, contact your ProMed territory manager, give us a call at (800) 648-5190 or visit us online at promedsupply.com.

DOJ Announces Elder Justice Roadmap The Department of Justice (DOJ) has announced a new initiative that seeks to provide additional oversight to combat elder abuse. The Elder Justice Roadmap defines elder abuse as any "physical, sexual or psychological abuse, as well as neglect, abandonment and financial exploitation." Research suggests that one in 10 Americans over the age of 60 has experienced elder abuse or neglect and that people with dementia are at a higher risk. The Elder Justice Roadmap was developed using input from hundreds of public and private stakeholders whose feedback was used to determine the project's top five priorities, which are:

Awareness Brain health Caregiving Economics Resources To assist in meeting these goals, the DOJ has developed an interactive online curriculum to teach legal aid and other civil attorneys how to identify and respond to elder abuse. The Department of Health and Human Services is also supporting the mission by developing a voluntary national adult protective services (APS) data system. To learn more, click here.
