What Are Chronic Illnesses?

Chronic illnesses are those that need medical treatment for more than a year. These disorders can have a significant impact on how a person lives and make ordinary activities more challenging. Arthritis, asthma, respiratory ailments, diabetes, heart disease, many forms of cancer, osteoporosis and other conditions are typical examples of chronic illnesses.

Standard in-home senior care may not be adequate to assist a loved one live out their senior years in the comfort of their own home if they have developed a chronic illness. That's why at Visiting Angels Nashville, we strive to help seniors living with chronic conditions enjoy their golden years at home while providing the assistance they need with everyday tasks, as well as helping them manage symptoms of their condition.

How Can Home Care Professionals from Visiting Angels Nashville Help Seniors with Chronic Health Conditions?

When a senior loved one develops an age-related chronic condition, family caregivers may face difficulties when providing the support they require to remain at home. Despite chronic diseases, many seniors cherish their autonomy, so placing a loved one in a nursing home or assisted living facility may appear to be a good choice at first, but it can be devastating for your loved one. With Visiting Angels Nashville's in-home senior care services, your loved one can receive the assistance they require in a comforting, familiar setting.

Our services are tailored to each individual client. For people with chronic conditions, this means they will receive not just the aid they require to be secure and comfortable in their own homes, but also the assistance they require to manage their symptoms. Even though our caregivers offer essential personal care, their assistance is still critical in enhancing the quality of life of seniors living with chronic illnesses.

• Meal planning and preparation, including feeding assistance
