What Are Chronic Illnesses?
Chronic illnesses are conditions that require medical attention and last for over a year. Some examples of chronic illnesses include arthritis, asthma, respiratory illnesses, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and osteoporosis.
Seniors who have chronic illnesses may need a higher level of in-home care than what is typically provided. Certain illnesses can impact a senior’s ability to complete everyday tasks or even make some tasks impossible. That’s why at Visiting Angels Gettysburg, we will factor in your loved one’s condition and needs while creating their customized care plan and help you find an in-home care provider from our team who can provide the level of support your loved one requires.
