Care of intact elderly men has been a mystery to many healthcare professionals, especially in the United States, since the great majority of men have been circumcised for several generations.

Intact elderly men may require regular care by healthcare professionals, if they have become incapacitated by advancing age or because of dementia. These foreskinned men may be likely to reside in a home for the elderly. Some care providers have expressed concern that they do not have guidance on the care of intact elderly men, who still have a foreskin and a preputial sac, but may no longer be able to care for themself.

Marilyn Fayre Milos, R. N., the executive director of NOCIRC provided a guidance for caretakers of elderly men, which is the best guidance available on this topic.
