It has been 25 years since I started Home Care Delivered. It’s been an amazing experience building a company that has helped so many people get the insurance-covered medical supplies they need delivered directly to their door. Back in 1996, when I made my first delivery (from the trunk of my very own car!) I had no idea how far we would come, growing from one employee (me!) into a leader in the medical supply industry with more than 200 dedicated employees serving more than 40,000 customers.

Susan was on her way to visit her daughter when a simple bathroom break landed her in the emergency room. She simply stepped out of the car and tripped as she stepped up onto the curb. It could have happened to anyone, but the fact is falls like this are common among older adults with as many as 1 in 4 older people taking a fall each year.

If you are living with a chronic health condition, you may spend lots of time “doing” your disease. Maybe that means giving yourself insulin shots if you are living with diabetes or changing an ostomy pouch if you have a serious bowel problem such as Crohn’s disease.

Of all the personal topics out there, fecal incontinence is one of the toughest to discuss. The condition is also known as bowel control problems, fecal incontinence, or accidental bowel leakage (ABL). By any name, living with this condition is a pain in the backside (if you’ll forgive the pun), often causing distress and embarrassment.
