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. The percentage of males being circumcised is constantly declining so one may expect more elderly intact men in the future geriatric population.
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 themselves.
Marilyn Fayre Milos, R. N., the executive director of NOCIRC and a registered nurse, provided a nursing guidance for caretakers of elderly men, which remains the best guidance available on this topic.

The guidance is also available as a leaflet, which may be printed in landscape mode on both sides of a sheet of paper. The paper is then folded in thirds so that it makes a leaflet.
