If you're caring for an elderly parent or spouse who suffers from a chronic illness, it may be difficult to provide the level of care they need to manage their symptoms while remaining independent. They may not want to leave their home and everything they know. At the same time, it can be hard enough to manage daily activities with a chronic condition, so it's no wonder that many families believe aging in place is not the best option for seniors living with chronic illnesses.

Fortunately, in-home supportive services from Visiting Angels South Phoenix can provide the type of support seniors need and want while they're comfortable at home. By providing in-home chronic illness support, our caregivers can help seniors in managing their symptoms and maintaining independence and quality of life despite their chronic conditions.

At Visiting Angels South Phoenix, we focus on helping elderly adults in South Phoenix, Ahwatukee Foothills, Maricopa, Laveen, Waddell, Buckeye, and surrounding Arizona communities get the care they need so they can age in place safely and comfortably.

What Are Chronic Illnesses?

Illnesses that last more than a year, like diabetes and heart disease, are considered chronic illnesses. These can significantly impact the quality of life and independence of seniors who have them. If a senior cannot manage their chronic illness on their own, professional in-home supportive services can help them live safely and comfortably in the home they've always known.
