Chronic Illness Support for Seniors in and Around Annapolis, MD
When a senior loved one is diagnosed with a chronic illness, enabling them to continue living independently at home may not be as simple as you thought. On the other hand, moving them to an assisted living facility is not always the best option because they can easily remain at home and receive exceptional care from caregivers trained to work with seniors living with chronic health conditions.
At Visiting Angels Annapolis, our in-home caregivers are committed to supporting seniors in Annapolis, Millersville, Pasadena, Arnold, Glen Burnie, and throughout Northern Anne Arundel County, MD as they manage symptoms of their chronic conditions so they can continue to remain at home for as long as they wish.
What Are Chronic Illnesses?
A chronic illness is any illness that lasts for a long period of time and is usually not curable. Most of these conditions put a strain on the patient’s quality of life and make day-to-day functioning far more challenging. Arthritis, asthma, respiratory illnesses, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and osteoporosis are some examples of chronic illnesses commonly seen in aging adults.
Unfortunately, when seniors develop a chronic illness, oftentimes the care they receive from a family caregiver is no longer sufficient for them to continue living independently at home. At Visiting Angels Annapolis, our knowledgeable in-home caregivers have the skills and the experience to help your Mom or Dad manage their chronic illness as best as they can.
