What Every Senior in Vancouver, BC, Needs to Know About How In-Home Care Can Benefit Those with Chronic Illnesses

Care Services for Seniors | Aging adults are faced with many challenges as they grow older in life. Some challenges can be easily overcome, while others linger on, such as chronic diseases. Though chronic diseases don’t usually vanish, quality home care services can help seniors cope.

Comfort Keepers® provides professional in-home care services for seniors with common chronic illnesses. Caregivers will assist with daily activities and ensure the senior’s well-being.

Seniors with chronic illness may not know what to expect any given day, which can be frightening. However, with proper home care services, seniors can enjoy peace of mind. Care providers ensure that the necessary steps are taken to remain within the medical guidelines of the senior’s condition.

In-Home Care Services for Seniors with Common Chronic Illness Types:

#1. Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome: 

Obesity is typically related to diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic conditions. In-home care solutions such as a Comfort Keeper caregiver can assist seniors by encouraging healthy eating habits, and regular exercise. Caregivers support seniors to remain proactive in their food choices by selecting foods free of trans-fat but filled with fibre and omega-3 fatty acids.

#DYK – 75% of adults that are 60 and older, are either obese or overweight.

#2. Osteoporosis: 

This condition causes bones to become brittle and weak, which makes it easier for seniors to break their bones when doing common things, such as bending over, coughing or if they fall. Caregivers assist seniors in their daily lives by creating conditions that reduce the risk of injuries and falls, they encourage them to stop smoking, omit or limit their intake of all, and introduce a diet that promotes healthy bones. In addition to utilizing home care services, seniors are also encouraged to exercise or remain physically active, daily.

#DYK – Osteoporosis affects more than 44 million adults 50 and older, this condition affects more than 44 million adults but is more common in women.

#3. Cardiovascular Disease:

Senior care providers assist aging adults with the most common types of heart disease, such as coronary heart disease, hypertension, stroke, arteriosclerosis, and congenital heart disease. Cardiovascular disease is a condition of the heart that involves diseased vessels, structural issues surrounding the heart, or blood clots. Therefore, caregivers are there to ensure that aging adults are eating high-fibre meals, consuming the necessary nutrients, limiting alcohol intake, exercising properly and taking their prescribed OTC meds as instructed by their physician.

#DYk – The risk of heart disease can be greatly reduced with a healthy lifestyle.

Chronic illnesses often occur in seniors but can be easily managed with in-home care services. Seniors supported by in-home care find it easier to get around and experience a normal life. In-home care eliminates the fear of becoming ill, falling or experiencing setbacks in their health.
