Many senior adults struggle with managing chronic conditions on their own. A chronic condition is any illness or ailment that lasts a year or more, requires ongoing medical attention, and places limitations on activities of daily living.

A few of the most common chronic conditions among older adults include:

• Arthritis
• Asthma and respiratory illnesses
• Diabetes
• Heart disease
• Certain types of dementia and cancer

Visiting Angels East Bernard provides at-home senior care for adults with these and other chronic conditions. Our essential personal care services can help your loved one maintain their independence at home while they learn to manage and live with their chronic illness.
