Understanding Chronic Illnesses and How Professional In-Home Caregivers Can Help Seniors in Santa Cruz, CA and Nearby Areas Manage Symptoms
When an aging loved one develops a chronic condition, it can become increasingly difficult for family caregivers to provide sufficient levels of care all by themselves. At the same time, despite depleting health and arising medical complications, most seniors value their independence and have a strong urge to remain in the same place they lived in for decades – their home.
What Are Chronic Illnesses?
Any condition that lasts over three months and causes long-lasting effects on the affected person can be described as a chronic illness. Many of these illnesses often make daily tasks much more challenging, taking a significant toll on one’s quality of life. The most common chronic illnesses in seniors include arthritis, asthma, respiratory illnesses, diabetes, various heart diseases, cancer and osteoporosis, among others. Unfortunately, when an elderly loved one develops a chronic condition, it is very likely that regular home care services will not be sufficient to keep them independent and that they will require some type of specialized care.
