In the earlier to moderate stages of Alzheimer's, while incontinence issues may vary (depending on other potential medical complications), most patients still have decent bladder/bowel control. However, as the disease progresses, incontinence is likely to become more prevalent. Alzheimer's disease is essentially a "disease of forgetting", therefore over time, the person no longer recognizes connections between brain and body. A patient may get to a point where he doesn't understand what to do when his bladder/bowel is full, hence incontinence.
