New Book Aims to Help Family Caregivers Navigate Incontinence Care at Home

"Caring with Dignity: A Caregiver's Guide to Incontinence" provides practical advice for daily living

GREAT NECK, N.Y., Oct. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A new book from Michelle Mongillo, MSN, BSN, RN, clinical director at First Quality^®, aims to help family and professional caregivers navigate the daily challenges of caring for someone with bladder or bowel control issues. "Caring with Dignity: A Caregiver's Guide to Incontinence" offers compassionate, practical and easy-to-understand advice for making incontinence more manageable at home.

The book draws Michele's three decades in the nursing profession, including 20 years as clinical director at First Quality. The book is for anyone serving as a caregiver, whether they are providing care for an aging parent, a child with special needs, a partner or even themselves. It can also be a helpful resource for professional caregivers who want to gain a deeper understanding of incontinence care.

Launching today in paperback and e-book formats, "Caring with Dignity" covers topics including:

• Bathroom routines, product selection, dietary and lifestyle modifications and travel tips
• Skin health and handling leaks, accidents, odors and stains
• Considerations for older adults, such as fall prevention and memory challenges
• Caring for children with incontinence beyond potty training
• How to find support as a caregiver and start difficult conversations

"By writing this book, I hope to make hidden conversations more visible and help caregivers gain confidence in their ability to provide dignified care," said Mongillo. "Caregiving can feel overwhelming and isolating, but no one has to go on this journey alone."

"Caring with Dignity" is now available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and the publisher's website, with bulk pricing available upon request. Learn more at www.firstquality.com/caringwithdignity.
