Home Care for Seniors with Chronic Diseases

Seniors with arthritis are presented with the challenge of remaining active. An inability to remain active can result in poor health, leading to conditions such as frailty. Frailty can also be caused by the physiological changes and triggers of chronic diseases, such as arthritis. Exercise for seniors serves to slow natural decline, preventing fears associated with growing old, such as loss of independence, the inability to remain in one’s own home and illness from coming true. The connection between possible illnesses associated with inactivity and the inability to remain active when one is affected by arthritis, stresses the ultimate importance of exercise for arthritis residents.

A-1 Home Care has created many programs to help seniors stay physically active and mentally and emotionally engaged. The programs offered by our caregivers include activities that help seniors engage in lifestyle choices and activities they find enjoyable and that provide for their mind, body, and soul.
